A highlight from Ep386: 3 Ways To Make Money From Your Show
"I want to make sure that I'm always bringing in at least one client a month, one new client a month. So I'm not going to waste my time only doing four episodes in the month. Instead, I'm going to go much more. I'm going to do 16, 17 episodes in the month. Most hosts never achieve the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. Hey, Podcaster. It's your host, Adam Adams, and we are talking about monetizing your podcast. We're talking about the three most common ways that podcasters will monetize. Now, if you look at other episodes that we've done on this podcast, and actually I'll have my team put a few of the monetization episodes in our show notes right now. So now you're listening and you're going to be able to scroll down and see what are the other ways to monetize because in this episode, we're talking about the three most common ways that people monetize their show. So if you want to know the other seven or eight ways, go and check out the links that are in the show notes. We will link to other episodes with other ways of monetizing. We're going to talk about the three most common ways, the three most common ways. The first is CPM. This means cost per meal, and it doesn't mean cost per million. It means cost per thousand. I think meal, M -I -L, must have Latin roots. It must be like Latin, cost per meal. Cost per thousand downloads is the most common way that most people try to monetize. As the three ways that I'm talking about today, this is the worst of the three ways. So I'm going to share what CPM is. I'm going to explain how it works, and then I'm going to share with you a better way. I'm going to explain how that works and how people get a hold of people because you make a lot more than your CPM model. And then I'm going to explain the third way, which is the way that you can make the absolute most amount of money. CPM cost per meal means that an advertiser who, and here's kind of like the caveat to it, and it's an advertiser, they don't necessarily have your same avatar. They're just more of like a general audience advertiser. And so you might have a real estate show. You might have the podcast on podcasting. You might have a show about your health and wellness. You might have something about piloting. You might have something about, you know, aviation, or we can just talk about millions of these things. Education, we can talk about movies, whatever your podcast is about. If you were going to go with a CPM model, that would mean that you would get an advertiser on that had a general ad. They're usually about 30 seconds or a minute long. So that advertiser, they wouldn't even really conversate with you. They would end up just putting up their ads in your place. And so one of the ways that we do this is there's some platforms out there that allow these ads to happen automatically. And when I say automatically, they can be dynamic ads, which means they can do it to episodes that you've already been published, that have already been published, you published a long time ago. And they just basically push a button and then one, two, three, or four different ads, one, podcast. And when it's a dynamic ad insertion, that's going to mean that there's going to be a 30 second ad followed by another 30 second ad followed by maybe a one minute ad followed by a 30 second ad. And that's before you ever give anybody value. Before anyone ever hears anything on the podcast, before you've said anything good, they get bombarded with these CPM model advertisements. One might be about diapers. One might be about home improvement. Another might be about a meal prep service. And the fourth one might be in Spanish or some other language that you don't even understand and neither does your listener. And this is a real story. This is actual true story. And so do you want the CPM model? Maybe. So far, it doesn't sound very enticing, does it? They don't even share my same avatar, you're thinking. If they're not going to help my perfect person, why do I want them? Well, you might not want them at all. You probably don't. And how do I get paid? That's your next question. How do I get paid with CPM? Well, most of these places, they will say, hey, I'm going to give $5 CPM. Or if they really have a lot of money to throw around, they're going to say $20 CPM. And if you found a way to just get the cream of the crop, the best of the best, you might get $30 CPM. What does that mean? That means that per thousand listeners that you have, so think about it, how many listeners do you have? The average podcast has about a hundred listeners. A top 10 % podcast has about 300 listeners. The average one has about a hundred. A top 10 % has 300. A top 1 % podcast has about 3 ,500 downloads per episode. Now you know how you get paid. If I'm getting $5 CPM and I have a thousand people listening, I'm going to make $5. Awesome. Now, if I had three advertisers, I would make 15 bucks per episode. So all the time, the effort, the work, the value that you're trying to give, and then you go ahead and you make 20 bucks, you sell out, you make 20 bucks, and you turn off your listener. You're a very awesome listener that has been coming every single day that you publish an episode. They get excited about it. Well, now they have to sit through three or four ads. And by the way, one of them's in a language they don't even understand because you went with a CPM model. That type of sellout, no offense if you're doing this already, but yes, offense if you're doing this already, that type of sellout isn't going to have a prolonged active podcast. Let's just say you had a thousand people downloading and you had four ads. So you're about to make 20 bucks. Now you're probably going to have like 500 people listening because they don't like the freaking ads. So now your income goes down to 10 bucks. If on the highest end, think about the CPM being on the highest end. Like I'm really crushing it. In the top 1 % of all podcasts in the entire world, I've got about 3 ,500 say I'm even above that. I've got 4 ,000 downloads per episode. And you're looking at a CPM model where you're able to somehow negotiate 20 bucks per each episode, per each CPM, per meal, per thousand downloads. And you got 4 ,000, you just made 80 bucks per episode. I do the math on this. Let's just say you're doing one episode a week. So 52 times 80 bucks. This is the best you could do. At the end of the year, you've only made four grand. It won't even pay for your editor. That's why I don't like the CPM model. That's also why did I bring it up first? I brought it up first because it's the absolute most common way and it sucks. And people get excited because they think they're making all this money, but really they're making like $2 because listen here, I'm going back to the CPM And negotiate you $20 per meal, cost per thousand. You're going to make two bucks, two bucks. You're going to make a 10th of it because you only have a hundred listeners when you need a thousand. So you made two bucks on that episode. What can you get with two bucks today? A candy bar? So if you do this the whole year, you can buy a candy bar every single week. It sucks. Option number two is partnership. This is a sponsor that is partnered with the show. And why is this different than CPM? It's way different because in CPM, they are chasing you. They are putting it at that $5, $10, $20 per meal. And then they're reaching out to people and saying that they'll give you like $20 per thousand. And you think to yourself, Ooh, I get almost a thousand downloads per month. And so I'm going to make like 20 bucks a month. And that's one way. Okay. What is the partnership? This is when you reach out to them. When I give you an example, I coach a ton of people to do number two. And it's because I think the CPM model sucks. And so I tell them, why don't you find a partner of the show or a sponsor of the show? Now, this does not mean an advertiser. The CPM is more of an advertiser who reaches out to you and says, I'm only going to do $5 CPM. And I'm going to do it with anybody who wants to do it. When you're getting a hold of a partner to your show or a sponsor of the show, you reach out to them and then you dictate how much money you're going to be making. So let's just say you've got a hundred downloads per episode. In this case, you'd be able to command much closer to let's just say 1500 bucks a month. If you are an average podcast, you would probably be able to command about 1500 bucks a month. Let's say that your 1500 bucks means that you've got 4 .333 episodes per week, because that's how the math really works. You don't have four episodes a month. I mean, you don't have four episodes a month. You have 4 .333 episodes a month because 52 weeks divided by 12 months is 4 .333 weeks per month. And so in this case, you would be making $348 per episode. Now that's a lot better worth your time, isn't it? Think about how long does it take you to do an episode? If you have a team that edits your podcast for you, then your podcast is only going to take you about 30 to 60 minutes, maybe 90 if you're doing a little bit of research. So for example, you spend 90 minutes to do this. So I'm going to divide $348 by the 90 minutes that it takes you. 348 divided by 90 equals, I don't know why I was even thinking about 90. 90 minutes is an hour and a half. Okay. So I needed divided by 1 .5. So I did that. I was like, what the heck? Why isn't this adding up when I divide it by 90? Okay. You were making about two bucks a minute, but when you look at how much are you making per hour with that podcast, if it takes you 90 minutes to come up with the content or invite your guests, do a little bit of research and then press record, then in the partnership slash sponsorship version number two, you're making $232 per hour. That's if it takes you 90 minutes. Now, if it only takes you five minutes to do an episode, 10 minutes to do an episode, you make a lot more. On the other hand, you are editing your own podcast and it takes you 12 to 15 hours to do all the editing of post -production, create all of your marketing pieces and all of that. Then let's just divide this by 15 instead. So I'm going to do 300 divided by 15 hours. You're making about 20 bucks an hour. And that's not terrible. It's slightly higher than the average minimum wage right now. So it's close to minimum wage. It's not amazing, but it's not terrible. It's not $5 an hour, $10 an hour stuff. So that's okay. You want to spend 15 hours editing and all of this for your podcast, you make about 20 bucks an hour. If you use the partnership slash sponsorship version, that's version number two. There was CPM was number one. Partnership is number two. Number three is going to be selling your own stuff. And that's the cream of the crop. We'll be there in just a moment. So I tell a quick story. I had a podcast client. Well, still have a podcast client. But this is in the past. So Alex came to me, he wanted to make money. He had a top 1 % podcast. So he had about 3000 downloads per each episode. And I told him, Hey, if you do CPM, you're going to be able to make something like $20 CPM. You've got 3000. So that three X of what the cost per meal is. And so you make $60 per podcast. And is that how much you want to make Alex? And he would say, no, it's not worth my time. Why would want to offend my listener to listen to an ad? That's not even going to serve them that comes in in the beginning of my episode before I've even added any value. And I do all of that for 60 bucks just to lose listeners. So that later I'm only making 30 bucks because it goes from 3000 people to 1500 people now. And so of course he's going to say no. So then it goes, Alex, here's a way to partner with somebody. And in the real estate space, I said, one of the main people that you reach out to is a lender. Alex has a real estate podcast. And so he teaches fix and flip and he teaches mindset and he teaches how to scale a business. And when it comes to him getting his sponsor and reaching out to them as a partner of the show, I told him one of the best, easiest places that you can go is a lender. So think about this, Alex, think about a private money lender, a hard money lender, somebody who lands on these fix and flips. Now you can still do coaching for listener and they still need somebody to fund the deals. So you having a fix and flip partner, it definitely both of you serve the same person, but neither of you take away business from the other person. Now, in fact, Alex probably makes more money if he has somebody who can really support his people with money. And the person who lends the money, the hard money lender, probably makes more money when Alex has more clients as well. So it's a win -win. Instead of detracting from the business that Alex can get, it actually supports his business and he's more profitable and effective and his sponsor or his partner of the show is more effective. And Alex says, well, with my 3000 plus downloads a month, because I'm in a top 1%, I could either make 60 bucks if I do CPM or if I do this partnership, how much do you think I can make? So five to 10 grand. And he's like, five to 10 grand? Are you sure? And I'm like dead serious. I am sure you could easily make five to 10 grand if you are the one who reaches out to them. So I taught him how to reach out to them. He and I even role played. So he practiced it. Step one was we decided who are the people that can help him. He writes down the hard money lender. Step two is we decide how do we play to the player? How do we give a pitch to that hard money lender? How do we give them that what's in it for me so that they even give a darn? And step three is to do that first call and to go out of your comfort zone and to call the hard money lender and let them know about the opportunity. So he did this behind my back. Well, we at the end of a coaching call, I said, okay, go and do this. And so he did, but he did it with two people instead of one. So he asked the first person for about five grand. And then he called the second person and asked them for about five grand. And so guess what? Alex could have made 60 bucks an episode, but instead he made 10 ,000 a month. He was doing eight or nine episodes a month. So I need to put in this math, $10 ,000 divided by approximately nine episodes a month because he's doing two a week. So this is an approximation. He's making $1 ,111 every single episode. He's making $1 ,111 per episode. And I know for a fact that Alex has my team doing all of the back office. So it takes him about 45 minutes to make $1 ,111. So I'm going to multiply this by 0 .75 because it's three quarters of an hour that it takes him to do that. Oh, I need to divide it by 0 .75. And he's making $1 ,481 an hour with his podcast. So partnership slash sponsorship, way better than CPM. Do you still want to do that CPM model? No. So the partnership is a much better way to go because Alex was able to make $1 ,400 in per hour instead of 60 bucks or 70 bucks an hour. Much, much better. Now let's go to the third option. The third option is selling your own stuff and this can yield you so much more fruit than the partnership slash sponsorship. So if you want to make more than $1 ,481 .33 every F an hour that you do your podcast, stay tuned. We'll be right back after this episode.

Let's get back into the show. We are back. We are talking about the three most common ways that people monetize their show. The first was the CPM model. We decided together that that one effing sucks. The second one was partnership. That one's really pretty cool. Like that one's pretty cool. Remember Alex making $1 ,481 .33 every single hour that he works on his podcast. When you like that too, or would you like something even a step better? A step better would be you selling your own services. You would sell your own coaching, your own consulting, whatever you can do, coaching masterminds for your listener. And let's imagine that you've got a products. One of my products is above $40 ,000. So the client would come to us and they would pay about $3 ,000. They would pay a little upfront fee and then they would pay about three grand a month and we would serve them for the 12 months. Okay. We would serve them for the next 12 months. So that ends up being more than 40 grand. When you add the three grand a month, but times 12 plus the down payment as well, it's over 40 grand. So for that package, if I get one person, just one per month, then we gross just like you would be grossing the CPM. You would be grossing the partnership money or sponsorship money. You are also grossing. You're selling your own services. So in this case, if all I do is just sell one person, that one package, and I have other packages available that are more and less, all I do is just sell one of those packages once a month and I'm doing four or five or six episodes each week. If I just sell one a month, then I make 40 grand every month, more than 40 grand every month. I'm doing the math right now on my phone, on my calculator, my trusty phone calculator. And I'm assuming that I do four episodes per week, four episodes a week. Now, two of those episodes are 10 minutes on average. We'll just say 12 minutes on average. Let's just say 15 minutes on average because that'll be actually easier with math. And the others are 45 minutes on average. And so I've got basically two hours of work, two hours of work each week because I've got a 45, a 15, a 45 and a 15. I hope that's making sense. So two hours a week. And so I've got 17 episodes happening and almost exactly 17 hours of work. Now, if I divide $40 ,000 by 17 hours of work, it's $2 ,352 .94. It's $2 ,352 .94. So let's recap. Option number one, CPM. You can make 60 bucks -ish max, maybe $5 per episode. Let's imagine that you are doing four episodes a week. And so you're making, let's just say 40 bucks a week. That's a hundred. And anyway, I don't want to give you too much numbers. I'm now realizing that I keep throwing out numbers and that's going to get confusing. So I'm not going to waste my time doing all of that since this is an audio and I don't have something to show you. I'm just going to explain it to you. On one way, you are most likely making about 20 bucks an hour. The next one, you're making closer to a thousand bucks an hour. And on the next one, you're making about $2 ,000 per hour. Now for me, I'm doing four episodes a week. If I was only doing one episode a week, of course I could quadruple that, but I want to make sure that I'm always making that. I want to make sure that I'm always bringing in at least one client a month, one new client a month. So I'm not going to waste my time only doing four episodes in the month. Instead, I'm going to go much more. I'm going to do 16, 17 episodes in the month. If I do 17 episodes in a month, I'm still making $2 ,352 and 94 cents per hour. And in additionally, about $2 ,352 per episode. Now, if with that type of motivation, think about it for a second. If you were doing four episodes a week and you were selling one $40 ,000 thing per month, would you have some motivation to get behind the mic? If you knew that you were going to record for about an hour and you're going to make over two grand, it would become your favorite thing to do. You would choose to record an episode before you would go do something else that was fun. Because it's like, I can get behind the mic for just an hour and I can make two grand. So let's recap. CPM, shitty. Partnership, pretty freaking good. Selling your own crap, your own good stuff. Hopefully nobody sells crap. Hopefully you're only selling really quality things that you've got. Well, that's the way to make the most amount of money. So those were the three most common ways that podcasters make money through their podcast. We talked about how they work and we talked about why the last one is the one that I suggest that you get started on right now. And if you need help, my name is Adam Adams. I coach people for a living. I support people. I help you to be able to make your 40 grand a month, even just 10 or 20 grand a month through your podcast because you're doing fewer episodes. That's great too. That's really, really good too. And I coach people to do that. So feel free to go into the show notes and schedule a call with me so that you and I can start working together. That's going to be a discovery call. And in the show notes is a link to our website. It's growyourshow .com. You'll see the link. And at the top right, you see a button. The button says schedule a discovery call. It's green. It's bright. It tells you exactly what I'm telling you right now. So you just go to that button, push it and schedule a call with me and we will help you start making your 10, 20, 30 or $40 ,000 a month through your podcast by selling your own stuff. See you on the next episode. This is serious. Don't go. Now that you've gotten whatever value that you feel that you got the actionable takeaways, you need to implement the stuff that you learn. If you remember me talking about bird church once and they learn how to fly and then they walk home. I don't want you to walk home. I want you to fly home. So take the steps, take the actionable steps for your benefits that you can become a better podcaster. That's the only thing that I ask of you. And I'll see you for more actionable tips on the very next episode.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
Fresh update on "16" discussed on Mike Gallagher Podcast
"Right now, Gaetz needs some Democrats. And if he gets Democrats to support him because they like to sit back and see this kind of dumpster fire, well, McCarthy's out, Mark. Is there an irony there in that Matt Gaetz needs Democrat help to oust a speaker whose worst sin is doing something with Democrat help? Yes, that's a great irony with a capital I. Great way to put it. It really is. And I heard a congressman, you know, a RINO New York congressman on Hewitt this morning. And they are again, they are on fire. As you said, Geneva is burning. But this guy pointed out, well, I don't think any of the Democrats are going to want to be associated with this guy, Matt Gaetz. Don't be so sure. Strange bedfellows sometimes. Well, AOC of all people said this week, hey, it's not up to us to bail the Republicans out of the mess they're in. Believe me, they're enjoying this. I do agree that this benefits the Democrats. I'm sorry for that. And I hate it. But I also don't like seeing, you know, somebody called a nihilist. I mean, nihilist. You know, it's like and he's anti-American and he's got his daddy's boy and daddy was the Florida. I mean, they're just attacking him personally. I mean, it's it's kind of wild to see it. There are bigger fish to fry. I want to share with you. You mentioned earlier, I was listening to you talk about the plight of the big cities. Horrible story out of Philadelphia. There was a young journalist, an LGBT journalist who was very prolific on X and social media, mocking conservatives for being concerned about crime in big cities like his city of Philadelphia. And this guy was even mocking the idea of having a gun to defend yourself in your home. He was mocking and taunting Republicans for criticizing cities like Philadelphia. He loves this Jim Kenney, this sanctuary city mayor. Mark, he was shot and killed in his home this week. He was murdered seven times, seven bullets put in his body. And of course, the ghouls on social media are dancing on his grave and they're mocking him. Can't do that. But but you must understand that this is life or death, that things are happening in these cities. And I hate it. I hate it for his for obvious for him and for his family, his loved ones. And again, a well-known journalist in Philly, apparently in the LGBT community. But the bottom line is a day before he was murdered, he was literally, you know, poo pooing the idea that we got a crime problem in Philly, mocking the people who are trying to draw attention to the issue to make it better. And it's funny. So did you hear the two things when I was talking about the conversion of Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson? He said, listen, we need Republican mayors in our big cities, so I'm going to become one. We also need to elect more of them. And that seems like a ridiculous long shot. How do you get a Republican elected in most of America's big cities? And I don't know the answer to that, except to try. A lot of people don't even want to try. We've given up. We have ceded the cities to Democrats. Is that helpful? 70, 80 percent of Americans live in these big cities. Is that helpful to just give up or should we try to? It's a marathon, not a sprint. It's an uphill steep climb to try to get some sensible Republican mayors who can save our cities. You spend so much time in New York. I grew up in the suburbs of D.C. I'm in Dallas and Fort Worth all the time. You're in Tampa all the time. Big cities are beautiful. There's no more beautiful city in America than San Francisco. It breaks my heart what happens out there. Should we try to save American cities or say, screw them, get buried under your own bad policy? I'm inclined to say you own it. You live with it. You inherited this. There's a great column by Douglas Murray of the New York Post called The Fall of Lululemon, How Stores Have Surrendered to Looters. He tells the story of how Lululemon fires employees who try to stop shoplifters from walking out with the high-end material and the merchandise from Lululemon. And a lot of stores are doing this. They're firing any of the employees. They're saying, let them go. Let them walk out. And guess what? When that happens, when you encourage it, I mean, it's not a sane society anymore. I mean, call us old-fashioned. Law and order is an important thing. It's one thing that people want to steal, but for businesses not to mind being stolen from? But I'm intrigued by the employees thing. And for those that don't know, Lululemon is high-end athletic wear, mostly for women, but not exclusively. And so an arm load is some serious cash if you're going out the front door. Thousands and thousands of dollars, Mark. What do we expect? I mean, if I'm an employee, I'd love to say, well, I'm not going to let this happen, blah, blah, blah. But sometimes these people might be armed. I mean, what these stores need is armed guards to prevent this, not employees trying to go vigilante. Two female Lululemon employees in Atlanta confronted three masked men who pillaged the store. All they did was call the police. Right. I mean, one of the assistant managers said, no. What do we want them to do? What do we want them to do? They did call the police. They were fired. They were fired.Okay. Pardon me. Confused host. For calling the police or for not doing more? For calling the police. No, they did too much by calling the police. One of the fired employee told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, we are not supposed to get in the way. You're supposed to clear the path for whatever they're going to do. And then it's over. You scan a QR code. We're not supposed to call the police. We're not supposed to talk about it. Douglas Murray says Lululemon isn't the only company in America that has taken this completely lax approach to its own stock. Well, guess what? Lululemon's on the verge of bankruptcy. They're going out of business. And Douglas Murray writes, you know what? I'm sorry. Count me as one who's not real sympathetic. We're in post consequences America. And this is how Congressman Henry Cuellar gets carjacked. Or it's not the specific because of this, then that, because crime is going to know that punishment does not await them. And there is a choice that Americans get to make. Republicans are law and order. The Democrats are certainly not no matter how mad Switzerland gets. Look at that call back. Happy Tuesday. And the Mike Gallagher show lies ahead.
Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1275. Ethereum ETF Launches! | VanEck Predicts $11,000 Ethereum
"All right, so let's roll into the ETF futures launch today. It has happened. This is going to be a big episode for you guys. You don't want to miss this one. If you're an Ethereum lover or maybe you're just trying to venture into crypto for the first time and you're finding out, hey, there's an ETF futures out there on this thing. We're going to teach you a little bit about that. My name is Paul Baron. Welcome back in The Tech Path. Let's talk a little bit about Ethereum, some of the projects it could affect, and also its future. That's what we're going to try to break down for you. I think you guys are going to like this. James Seaford, he's been on our show before, one of the ETF experts over at Bloomberg. He tweeted, updated version reflecting the change due to the end of the Kelly and Hashtag's partnership will just be the Kelly ETF's product. And he kind of breaks it down. But the point is, is you've got the ETFs that have launched here with VanEck leading the way right now. Of course, we've got a whole litany of these starting to roll out now. So this is going to get interesting around the ETFs as when it comes to the futures ETF for Ethereum. And we'll show some stuff on this and how this plays out. But very, very interesting. So further over here, here's kind of just the layout of the VanEck. Obviously the cheapest total expense ratio at about 0 .66. So one of the lowest fees out there in being able to get into an ETF for sure. VanEck also is starting to do a little bit of advertising. This is kind of interesting with them actually starting to promote an Ethereum ETF future. This is crazy. So truly, and this is obviously institutional finance, so good stuff out there. I want to play a clip of them talking about this. Let's go to that. Ethereum has emerged as the system for an age where connections are no longer bound by location or space. We're not just using the network. We are the network. So when you're ready, enter the ether. Now you can tap into Ethereum's potential with the VanEck Ethereum strategy ETF, EFUT. All right, there you go. Big, big news because that is mainstream advertising. And when you get into mainstream advertising, it means you're going to be getting into mainstream investing and investing is going to start to shift that. That's why ETH and this ETF is such a big thing. It's why we're seeing a little bit of movement on Ethereum itself. VanEck, of course, their Twitter account says, what sets the EFUT apart? Typical ETF setups don't give futures, good tax benefits. C Corp is set up now designed to have potential for better performance after taxes for people who invest in a long time. So there are some apparent tax benefits here that VanEck, of course, is touting. So if you are in that case, make sure and, you know, investigate it. Let me know what you guys think. Further into this, just to show you where you can get this, now you can invest through your brokerage account in Robinhood, SoFi, Charles Schwab, E -Trade, Fidelity, pretty much anywhere you can buy EFUT. So easy to do and easy to get into. I want to go to this next clip right here that kind of breaks down a little bit further into what VanEck is trying to do with Ethereum as a whole. And this is Mr. VanEck himself What do you see coming in the crypto space that you thought it was important enough to get your firm that was established in the 50s moving towards this new area? Talk about Ethereum and there was CryptoKitties and all the potential of the blockchain. It felt like a lot of talk back then and a lot of PowerPoint presentations. But over the last three years, especially this year, I mean, it's just amazing how many software projects are not only coming to the market, but also upgrading in a very significant extent. And that includes Ethereum. I see three major areas of finance being potentially disrupted. One is the banking and brokerage. The second is payments. And the third is banking and lending. I think the larger point is that Ethereum is the leader and Ethereum is making enhancements, if you will, to its software. And so it's getting better over time. I like the fact that we're starting to see real business people recognize what's happening because this is one of those things that happens in those early curves. And that I think VanEck is obviously all in. But there's many of them that are all in on this. And that's including companies like Fidelity. You look at what ARK and Cathie Wood has been talking about in terms of Ethereum growth. So where is Ethereum going as a whole? Well, here is a report by VanEck talking about Ethereum's price prediction. And this was $11 .8K by 2030. Now, I want you to think about that because Ethereum right now trading around $1 ,700. And look at that kind of growth in a very short period of time. We're talking about 2023, end of right now as we're recording this video. That's an accelerant that's pretty heavy. Let me go through a couple of things they highlighted in the report. So it's revenue rising from an annual rate of $2 .6 billion to $51 billion in 2030. Big move. ETH takes a 70 % market share amongst smart contract protocols, which implies a token price of around $11K by 2030, which we discount to around $5 .3K today. So that's what they think the core value is. And then we value Ethereum by estimating cash flows because they're kind of treating the chain much like a business would be treated in terms of revenue and et cetera. A couple of points here that they look at here in their revenue price targets. You see the base case, bear case, and then the bull case. $11 .8K right there on the base case. $3 .43K on the bear case 2030. And then a $51K bull case. That's $51 ,000 per token right there on the bull case. So a lot in terms of confidence around what this is in terms of Ethereum as a whole. There was a We introduced a novel revenue item called security as a service, which is interesting, which is going to help businesses will be utilizing security through the ETH ecosystem to enhance, obviously, security around businesses themselves. So another big advantage there. Since ETH is a bearer asset, ETH can be locked behind some businesses or protocol guarantees to act honestly. So it's another way for how blockchain is permissionless. And it makes it easier for so much of what we see in Web2 to be completely revamped in Web3, which is what Van Eck was talking about there around blockchain and what Ethereum is doing in the banking space, the investment space, tokenizing a lot of things that we typically have to have these intermediaries to be talking to. Further into this report, we assume that 5%, 20%, and 10 % of the finance, metaverse, media, and tech infrastructure activity will move on chain. And what they're looking at is the base case, bull case kind of scenario that plays into finance, metaverse, and media, which is kind of an interesting mix between those. But media, we've talked about one of the reasons we do what we do. We believe that media is going to be moving on chain in the future. Further into this, let's see, we have one more couple of points here. Yeah, all right. Base case 2030 price target $11 .8 to Dermot valuation today's dollars. And then we find today's discounted price to be around $5 ,300. So not a bad value if you're looking at the overall on this. Let's go over to another clip here. And the other clip I want to get into is Matthew Siegel and kind of how they got to this level. Listen in. We're seeing a base case for 5 % or so of revenue banking is applied in some way to crypto and public blockchain. So that'd be the base. And so we dial it up a notch to 10%. Likewise, we do the same thing with each of the other categories, metaverse infrastructure, the bear case, we pull that down to 1%, 5%, 1 % respectively. And the idea behind that is that we see regulatory climate or adoption curve failing in each of those from the bear, hyper bear scenario. Not only is like the end markets not using blockchain, but Ethereum has a very small market share. Our assumption in the base and in the bull case is there's thousands of interchangeable L2s that don't have any real way to differentiate themselves. And so in that kind of scenario, you can see the cut rate that Ethereum can take of those settlements would be much, much higher or the underlying businesses. In our base case, we assume that Ethereum will take 70 % market share of all open source blockchains. And when we do our models on Solana, like that, our base case is that Solana takes 70%. And then we see what type of upside we get when we put in those assumptions. And we look at owning each of these tokens is basically we're owning a bunch of call options that each protocol will become the dominant protocol, even though it's impossible that they all could do so. And then we manage our position size based on what type of upside we see. Most of our deep dives have been on either layer ones or application specific. We have not done one of these models for L2s. And I think there's just more uncertainty around how that's going to play out. All right. So those were the VanEck analysts breaking this down that were part of that report that we just showed just a minute ago. So both of them kind of indicating that obviously ETH in a very bullish case, also Solana in a very bullish case. So another thing that is happening within VanEck, which is kind of interesting, is this right here. So they announced, let me kind of zoom in on this for you guys, that they intend to donate 10 % of our ETF profits into Protocol Guild for at least 10 years. So Protocol Guild obviously designed to help the ETH ecosystem develop, prosper, build on new Ethereum projects that are really kind of growing the ecosystem. So that is a pretty big statement, but it's also kind of investing in the infrastructure. It's interesting because you didn't really see that happen during the evolution of Silicon Valley, which is kind of where I case what's is we're in that kind of zone. They talked a little bit more about it. I'm not going to buy ETH Futures ETFs, but if I was, I would buy VanEcks mainly because they're doing what they should be doing, and that is supporting the industry and supporting where the growth is going to come from. So that's always benefited. I think the interesting thing there is that the space likes it. Here's Eric Balshunis, and they're off. ETH Futures Derby underway. VanEck is in slight early lead. Although it looks like a few of them are not necessarily out of the gate. We'll post updates as we go. VanEck, of course, leading the way right there and you've got Valkyrie coming in with a little bit of activity as well. VanEck with their low fees and what they're doing as an overall strategy might be the winner here. Remember, they were the first one. So it goes back to first mover. If you look at the current ETH Fut, of course, it's very early trading, but you can kind of see the big boom and then a little bit of a slight down where they are holding right around $16 .91. So interesting stuff. Let's go over to this next clip. This will break down a couple of things, I think, when you really consider what the store of value argument is around Ethereum. Let's just play this next clip. You'll get what I'm saying. So the whole exercise of the store value discussion is a little bit, you know, I really have to put a big caveat in there because what I'm really doing is mind reading. I can't point to a statistic and say, people, there was no poll that says I bought Bitcoin because it's a store of value. Things could be built on top of Bitcoin as well. And maybe they're just saying, oh, no, actually, I think Bitcoin's the best smart contract software. So I'm not a mind reader. So these are kind of generalizations and best guesses based on the narrative. And if you look at the transactions, on -chain Bitcoin transactions are about $400 ,000 a day. And that hasn't changed a lot over the last several years, which I think is interesting. But if you look at Ethereum, the Ethereum transactions, the total amount of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain is in the trillions annually now. That's a big number. Ethereum is the most famous. Solana has performed really well this year. I actually think that will continue next year. That category of digital asset tokens has been the best performing this year. We think that's kind of accessing the blockchain and that's the space that we're most interested as a firm. All right. Well, it's good to know. I mean, because I think they hit on both the tokens that we like, which is Solana and ETH. And if you do look at Bitcoin's transactions that it was mentioning there, and I meant to say Bitcoin transactions, but this is the one year and if you just go out to the three year, there has been a little bit of an uptick here. But I think some of this has been the idea of where all of this is going, because just in the essence of what is happening in crypto in general, it's starting to accelerate in a big way. And what he mentioned there, meaning Van Eck mentioned, is that the explosion has been happening around Ethereum. Of course, if you look at Ethereum's transactions, almost same period of time, you see the kind of movement that we're talking about here all the way back from 2019 right there into 2020, all the way to where we are right now, which is in the depth of a bear market. We are in the depth of a bear market when all this is happening. And when NFTs are dead and all those kind of things that really cause pain in the ETH that's ecosystem, the kind of transaction levels that we're continuing to see. Now, other things that are driving this, there's been a couple of projects that have launched here recently. One, of course, is Pudgy Penguins. We did a full report on this, but Pudgy Penguins ran a live shopping experience on TechTok. And there are some interesting things within this that is going on. And what I want you to think about is just forget that it's Pudgy Penguin, I just want to think about retail in general, because retail in general is going to start to implicate. Now, obviously, a Pudgy Penguins project, they're very native to what's happening in crypto. But the cool thing is, is direct sales, they have some key insights. Let me zoom in on this for you. Direct sales showcase products, increase discoverability, audience engagement, global reach. Any retailer out there, especially direct consumer, etc., would love those kinds of insights coming out of something in terms of a digital campaign. So, big deal. A couple of things that came, they did a pin appeared, allowing viewers to add the featured toy to their cart and then check out directly within the app. Remember, this is the digital version of the NFT. And then Pudgy Penguins received over 33 ,000 likes. TechTok Shop recently launched in the U .S. It was available through parts of Asia and the United Kingdom. And then live shopping is expected to reach around $235 billion in sales this year in China. That's insane. And then Pudgy Penguins obviously is a unique position to leverage TikTok Shop to expand their brand. This will grow globally for them, but I think what you're going to see is more retail and also more projects that understand how to leverage all of this. Remember, this is all riding on Ethereum. So, it plays right into the hands of think of what's happening here. So, it's not all friendly Penguins. Now, we've got the Swiss bank UBS launching tokenized money market fund on ETH. And I think this is just one of those things. They're doing an exploratory initiative, but they are going to go through traditional financial institutions, fintech providers, etc. Further into this, you get Ethereum applications from the New York Stock Exchange to the SEC. All of this riding on Ethereum. This is the point that I talk about often, and that is this whole adoption curve. Many people think it's that slow curve, and then all of a sudden it's just straight up. I don't know if we're there yet, but what I am thinking is that there's so much activity in this space and the timing through this bear market has been so suppressive of some of these digital assets that we could be right there on the cusp of an explosion. Now, obviously, there's a lot of other things that have to happen. Some of the things that could happen to cause that kind of explosion are things like this. Is BlackRock's next to file for a spot ETF? That would be huge. If BlackRock said, we're going to go the Ethereum route as well, absolutely massive for the ETH ecosystem. So, for sure. Now, this was an interesting statement. Ripple effect of grayscale decisions is massive. SEC would have faced similar legal challenges for denying ETH futures and ETFs. By approving ETH futures, ETF, now the SEC is effectively conceding that ETH is not a security. This will no doubt impact the Coinbase and Binance litigation. All of that starts to play into this. You start to get a picture of this global reaction that is going to happen within this ETH ecosystem. And I think this is the kind of thing that starts to put you in a position where you can really start to leverage against these. Now, it's not all beautiful, but this was Dave Levine. He talks about this whole ETF futures thing as a scam. I want to play a clip for you. Listen to what he had to say. Do not be fooled by the news that there is an Ethereum ETF. There is an Ethereum ETF, but it's not buying Ethereum. In other words, Bitcoin went up 35%. It's a pretty big game. But if you bought the fake ETF that is not buying Bitcoin, you only went up 14%. So where did that other, where did 50 % of your gains go? They're lying in the pockets of the bankers. Again, it's supposed to be protecting investors. You know, that's why I call these ETFs a scam and they use the name Bitcoin to say what you're buying and it's not what you're buying and it's guaranteed to underperform. I mean, what is the definition of a scam, right? He is a hired gun to do that stuff, right? And the, and the court ruled on it. They said that the SEC loses on all counts because its case and its, and its, uh, its arguments are capricious and incoherent. And there is this risk that, you know, ETH goes up so much, so fast. The Wall Street bank that is trying to track the price because they don't actually own ETH can't actually track it because whatever they're holding doesn't go up anything close as much. And then they go bankrupt because they can't meet the obligations. Believe me, if some Wall Street bank goes bankrupt because ETH goes up or Bitcoin goes up so much because they were playing games and they got exposed, they're going to blame crypto, not their shenanigans. So the whole thing stinks. Coinbase has a thing, it's called stand with crypto click. It tells you who your Congress person is, gives you a little script. I went off script and gave them an air full. Do it. All right. So he hits on a few things with point with these future ETFs is it happens in all markets. This is, this is just one of many out there that are non crypto related. It's obviously being crypto related. So I would dispel the fact that these are scam. These are yes, they're high fee scenarios. There are other ways to invest in these assets, but people look at this in a different way. Mainly this is mainstream investors wanting to go in on these assets and they're not ready to open an account with Coinbase or other things like that. But he did mention something at the end and that is stand with crypto. Listen, this, if you're not already doing it, you should be doing it. Go out and just hit stand with crypto. You can call your Congressman, email your Congressman and it helps you kind of go through the process of letting people know where you stand on all of the 16 ,000 contacts right now at the Congress. So huge, huge movement here. 150 ,000 crypto advocates. This is going to be a big part of next year because next year we are talking about an election year. So it's going to be huge. So definitely. Now if you are interested in buying ETH directly, you can actually do this in a traditional finance way right through the Fidelity app. So check it out if you're not a Fidelity customer. They're not a sponsor, but we've used it, we've tested it and it's fantastic. So that's another way to go. All right guys, we're going to wrap that one up from here. One thing to remember, and I'll leave you with this, this is Mr. Patrick McHenry hitting it in right there home. And that is SEC Chair Gensler refuses scheduled commission vote to provide Congress with requested documents. They are talking about the first subpoena to the SEC ever. That would be huge in the way of who knows what they'll find. What would we see in the way of bipartisan, you know, enforcement that we've seen the FCC pretty much put at will to go out. This may play its course right now with Patrick McHenry. He's not playing around anymore. We'll see how it all plays out. But you guys know what to do and that is join the diamond circle so you can follow what's playing it out. Not only the legislative side but also taking a look at some of the projects that we break down and of course some of our additional content including our Web3 podcast over there with Kyle.

Well, DC police are not commenting on last night's carjacking of Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, but police say they are working on reining in the problem. WTOP's Dick Oliano just attended a news briefing. He joins us live with the investigation. They want Hey Ann, we've been briefed by Assistant Police Chief Carlos Harad. He is the head of the investigations division, and he says more than a dozen detectives are working on the Metropolitan Police Department's Carjacking Task Force. He says carjackings are most prevalent starting Thursdays at 4 p .m. until Monday at .m. 4 p Now, Congressman Cuellar was was carjacked last night in the Navy Yard neighborhood, which has experienced plenty of carjackings. And is that neighborhood getting more police attention? Chief Harad says police have a citywide approach and resources are routinely shifted, sometimes hourly. He says the police are working daily with the U .S. Attorney for D .C. and the D .C. Attorney General who's responsible for prosecuting juvenile offenders to get on top of the situation of carjackings. Dick, 30 seconds here. We've heard a lot of stories about juveniles involved in these carjackings. What are police saying about that? Well, Sean, Chief Harad says he doesn't know why juveniles are doing so many of these carjackings. He mentioned social media, but he said there are possible influences there, but he said without getting into the heads of juveniles, he doesn't understand why kids 16, 17, some younger are carjacking here in D .C.

Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1274. Shutdown Delayed, Uptober Begins | Crypto Market Outlook
"All right, so here we are. It is October, October. You get the message here. We're going to dive into that today and find out if Bitcoin and some of these great crypto assets are actually on the move or we're going to get a correction here. We'll break it all down for you guys today. My name is Paul Bearer and welcome back in to Tech Path. All right, let's jump into it. Before we get started, let's go over to iTrust Capital. If you guys are looking at doing some long -term holding on your crypto assets, one of the ways you can do it is through a crypto IRA. So check it out right here, itrustcapital .com. It's the number one crypto IRA platform in America right now, $7 billion in transactions, 200 ,000 accounts created. Definitely, they are killing it over there. Use our link down below. It's going to give you a $100 funding reward. And of course, we get a little help from iTrust to help you guys continue to see this content for free. So that's one of the ways you can help us out. All right, let's get into a couple of the notes today and really kind of talk about where and what has been happening over the weekend. Obviously, Bitcoin's been up. Most of the top 20 have been up. And for the most part, we've even seen some of the Web3 projects also get some good positive action. So what's causing that? Obviously, the biggest issue was the, I guess, the scenario that played out right now over the weekend where we actually came to an agreement, somewhat of an agreement, to not shut the government down, which is always helpful. Kobe Easey comes in and says, breaking Senate vote approved the short -term funding bill to keep the U .S. government open till November 17th. Not bad, 45 days away. This bill includes $16 billion in disaster funding and keeps the U .S. government open for 45 more days. The U .S. government is seeing a new crisis every month now. What's going to happen in 45? I think that's the big question right now everybody's asking is, do we see maybe the month of October as our correction month? And then we have to kind of go into a realization that we're back to where we started. Love to get you guys' feedback on that. What do you think is going to happen here in the month of October? Drop some comments down below. Make sure and smash the like button because it does help us get into the algorithms and help other people kind of explore what's happening in the market. Let's listen to what Mr. Chuck Schumer had to say about this. Let's play this clip for you guys. It's been a day full of twists and turns, but the American people can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no government shutdown. Democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship. And we're glad that Speaker McCarthy has finally heeded our message. In the end, more Democrats supported this bill in the House than Republicans, proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. I want to thank my colleagues here in the Senate, especially our appropriators, yourself, Madam President Susan Collins and Leader McConnell. Our bipartisan work in the Senate set the tone for the bill we're about to pass. Our bipartisanship made this possible and showed the House that they had to act. All right. So you saw a couple of things here with Schumer, and that is the whole scenario around the bipartisan approach. A lot of Dems had to come into play on this. Obviously, the Republicans were the ones that were seemingly holding a lot of this back. Now you even have Gaetz really pushing hard against McCarthy, trying to dispose him as the speaker. There's a lot happening there, and it's going to continue to push forward into next month when all of this has to go right back to the drawing board and redo this. So this could get a little up and down. And especially I'm concerned with November because of the scenarios that we will see in both the jobs numbers, the Q4 will start to play out in the sense that we'll start to see what's happening in the markets itself. And it could be a very bad timing for this to occur again. So hopefully this all gets corrected and playing into it. Let's listen to what Squawk Box had to say about this and the impact it might have on the markets. Listen in. Joining us now is Jared Bernstein. He is the chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. And Jared, let's talk about this. We have a deal that nobody really expected we'd see. So we made it through this weekend. But what happens in the next 45 days? Well, first of all, good to see you, Becky. This is good news for the American people in the sense that an unnecessary crisis that would have inflicted pretty deep and wholly unnecessary pain on millions of Americans has been averted. That's good news for over 1 million active duty troops, for over 7 million women and kids who risked lacking nutritional support for travelers because of the reauthorization in this bill of the FAA and disaster relief that was also in this continuing resolution. But it did not have to happen. I think what you just played from the president is, of course, exactly right. He shook hands. He had a deal. In fact, there was a law passed with McCarthy back in in June, in early June at the end of the debt ceiling debate that was designed specifically to avoid this Senate. All right. So, you know, they kind of take doing their victory lap, even though I think it's a little bit premature. But the point is, is that there was a huge economic disaster that was averted. So I think that's the positive news. Obviously, the markets responded in such ways that have helped adjust for that as well. But that's not necessarily all of it. We've also seen some other implications coming across from external resources out there in the markets that have caused a little bit of this movement. I think the question everybody's asking now is, is Bitcoin going to continue higher or are we going to start to see Ethereum start to adjust now? Do we see some of the projects like Solana, Avalanche, etc. start to really fly? We'll break into all of those. So don't miss those. We'll look at some charts for you guys as well. I want to go over to a couple of stories here. Why Bitcoin prices up today? A couple of points that were hit on here. US shut down a version, obviously, and also the ETF launches. Now, that is the opportunity. Because remember, Ethereum ETF launches today. And the other idea around this is that when you look at not only the Bitcoin opportunity for ETFs, by the way, if you're not following our market sentiment indicator, you guys should because we are tracking both the Bitcoin and the ETF, the spot ETF sentiment as a whole. It's interesting to see that sentiment kind of go up and down. But the point that they're hitting on in this article is that October is historically one of Bitcoin's best months and is often called October, named in today's video. Bitcoin's October overall. You can kind of see the rundown right there. That green line right there, as you can kind of see where I'm waving my cursor, almost all green over the years going all the way back to 2013. So not bad. Nearly 43 million worth of shorts were liquidated. That's another scenario that plays into that. And of course, I think when you look at the general move with what Bitcoin had to do, I think this is going to be an interesting week ahead of us. Now, there's a lot more that could be happening this week that could still maintain Bitcoin around the $27K to $28K range. That will be a very, very interesting thing to watch because if Bitcoin starts to edge toward around $28K, this is where it's going to get interesting for the future. All right. A couple of things I want to hit on. Right here is Ben Cowen talking about lucky number seven. First green September for Bitcoin in seven years. That's a good sign. But is it a short -lived sign? That's, I think, is really the scenario that plays into this. Sellers have lost momentum. Buyers are now in charge. Target is near the top of the range right now. If it breaks this range that we've been talking about, which I'll show you the chart here in a second, that Bitcoin has been moving to. If you look at just here on the daily, right there is that little high right there around $25 .73 and a little bit. And then, of course, the red candle started to point its way down on the hourly on Bitcoin's move over the last $24. So interesting moves for sure. How are you guys playing this? Is this a zone? Because this has been up and down on the sentiment charts for us. We still see sentiment somewhat waffling with Bitcoin. Not necessarily as much with Ethereum, but definitely with Bitcoin. But the real question is can we hold around this $28K mark, which is where we're hovering right about now. All right. Other things. China's central bank continues to stimulate. So reverse repo injections now at levels not seen since 2020. This is another factor that plays into it. China is starting to inject liquidity. This, of course, causes movements in the markets. It also causes some ripples in the markets as well, because I think China is going to be one that we have to continue to be cautious about in the sense of awareness of what's happening in China, both from a real estate standpoint, but also just from their GDP and their economic growth. Those are the other things that play into this. A couple of reports from Chain Analysis that are kind of interesting here. I thought this would be larger, and it's not. But right now, eastern Asia, fifth most active crypto market accounting for 8 .8 % of global crypto activity. And this is July 22 through June 23. So it kind of gives you a little bit of insight to that. Point is that you do have a significant amount of the market that is in control. Remember, the United States still has a large percentage of what is happening around the world in crypto markets, ironically, without legislation. Can you imagine what is going to happen with legislation and institutional adoption really kind of playing forward? That's where it's going to get super. I think that's when we're going to start to see some big market moves overall.

A highlight from Time To Buy The Dip On These Altcoins? (LAST CHANCE)
"The market is finally showing signs of life and many altcoins are now starting to break out of their month -long downtrends. So in today's video, I'm going to discuss what altcoins I am looking at this week. I've got a variety of long setups for you. I've also got a couple short setups that I want to share in today's video. And it's funny, every single Monday I do the Watchlist shows, right? But they don't get that many views. You can see in front of you last week, I only got 4 ,000 views on the show. Yet, in my opinion, they are my most alpha -packed shows of the week. Because if we just look at last week as an example, there were many trades here which we nailed. I mean, Bitcoin, I pretty much said it was going to move sideways for the majority of the week. That is what happened, although we did get a pump in the last couple of days. LINK, I said that I was expecting us to move up heading into the conference. And then the conference could be a local top. Well, we've certainly gotten a massive move up. Now is the conference. So proof will be in the pudding when it comes to that one. But we did get the first part right. Arbitrum has pushed up massively in price. So we got that one right. OX, I was a little preemptive when it came to DCAing. That's one we can talk about later. But they have had a massive correction. And if you like OX, it could be a DCA opportunity. OP as well, I said they weren't looking as strong on a relative strength basis versus Arbitrum. And I was waiting for PostUnlock to reconsider my positioning. And I mean, pretty much you haven't missed out on a relative basis versus ARB, which has been the stronger trade. And it's all about opportunity cost in crypto. And then Frax has performed very well. And I said I was buying some Frax as well. So mostly hits when it came to the watchlist last week, 80 % hits. The only one that I did take a slight knock on was my DCAing into OX, which obviously did end up dropping. But on all the other coins, we pretty much have traded them pretty well. So that's why I believe that the Monday shows are so important. If you're not watching them, I recommend watching them every single week because this is where I go through my plans for the week. I talk about the old coins I'm interested in. I talk about what I'm seeing in the market. And it's really important. It's a great chance for us to reset and chat one on one ahead of every single week. And this week is looking to be a little more lively than previous weeks. And it comes on the very important day for Bitcoin, which is the beginning of Q4. So October, now we are officially in the Q4 period. And actually historically Q4 is the best quarter for Bitcoin. And specifically October and November are the best performing months historically for Bitcoin. You can see in front of you, October is the second best performing month and November is the best performing month for Bitcoin. So it's funny that we've kicked off Q4 in style with a very strong Bitcoin move to the upside. We've now started to break above that key 200 EMA level, as you can see here. Although last time we did break above and then we deviated below and then we didn't end up having a daily close above. So this is really what you want to keep your eye on now. Can Bitcoin actually close above and then look to use that as a launchpad to push into that major zone at 30K? That's obviously going to be the next question. Or will it close below again? Only time will tell. We'll know obviously within the next day. This video is prerecorded a few hours before it goes live. So we will be approaching daily close at that point and we will need to monitor this level. But I would like to see a few days continuously above. Just one daily close above oftentimes isn't strong enough. You often want to see multiple daily closes above and it just forms some sort of support basis, a substantive basis for Bitcoin to spring to the upside. But let's not get too much into the Bitcoin discussion because we have lots of altcoin talk today. And my plan on various altcoins I want to discuss with you in today's video. So as you can see, the market is up today. The market is up this week. Arbitrum, one of the best performers that we talked about in last week's watchlist. Solana, one of the best performers. I'm going to get into my thoughts on Solana in today's video. This is one I also called on my Twitter when I said that I thought that the pre -dump was going to be greater than the actual selling event. That is what happened. And we ended up timing the bottom pretty nicely on Sol. So overall, it's been a great couple weeks of trading, but let's get into today's one. The first thing I want to talk about is Ethereum. I think it would be remiss of me not to talk about the leader of the altcoins, given the fact that it's primarily an altcoin video today. Ethereum showing some interesting signs here, starting to push into this range high territory. It has pivoted nicely off those lows at 1540 and never quite got down to that major structural support level at 1422. And it's actually started to respond and show signs of a reversal here. Range high does correspond with the 200 MA. So that's going to be your major resistance level. Only time will tell whether Ethereum has the strength to break through there. But that is a heavy level of resistance. So if it does get rejected there, I would not be surprised. I probably wouldn't be longing ETH into resistance. But I do find more interesting is the ETH BTC chart. It did get rejected off its major resistance level. However, this is a level that it did an SR flip back in July. This is definitely a key level for ETH. If you're looking at ETH, maybe outperforming Bitcoin on a relative basis over the next couple of months, that would be your level that you really need to reclaim. This was a trade that I was in. I got stopped out. I mentioned that on the show that I did about my ETH pair trade at 62 here. But this may be a trade I get back into if we flip and confirm above this major level. So that's what I'm watching on ETH BTC. And it comes at a time where the ETH futures ETFs seem to have gotten approved, which is obviously great news for Ethereum. But we are still hanging out for that Ethereum spot ETF. Lots of speculation now about an ETH ETF. Lots of speculation also about a Bitcoin ETF. Very interested to see what happens over the next few months when it comes to ETFs. Looks like Bitcoin will be pushed forward into Q1 2024, given the fact that we got a slew of delays last week. But the Ethereum ETF is another one to keep your eye on. And the Bitcoin ETF would certainly be precedent for ETH, although ETH is on a lagging basis versus Bitcoin, typically regulatory -wise on about an eighth to, I would say, 16 months lagging basis versus Bitcoin. Now let's get a little more degen now that we've framed the market. We've looked at ETH. ETH BTC is interesting. We've looked at Bitcoin and the key levels there. Now let's get into some of the alts. Got longs, I've got shorts, and I'm going to go through this rapid fire. So I'll probably be speaking really quickly, but I want to get the alpha to you and not waste your time with 40 -minute shows anymore. First one's Radiant Capital. I like Radiant Capital long term because it's one of the only bonafide proxy bet plays for the layer zero airdrop, which is going to be in Q1 2024, most likely alongside Stargate. So Radiant's one I like. Lots happening on the third. So Radiant's one that I've been accumulating, and this is one in my watchlist every single week on the show and on my Twitter. I've been quite public about the fact that I've been accumulating spot, and I actually did buy some spot at the support level at 22 and added a little bit more lower towards the 19 to 20 zone. In terms of Radiant from a TA perspective, we have broken above major resistance at the 24 cent zone, although we have had a very explosive move to the upside. So personally, with my spot positions, I've started to unload a little, and I do think we may see a mean reversion back down into this zone here at the 24 cent level. I mean, if the market keeps pumping, clearly Radiant can pump up until this next resistance level at the 30 cent zone. But for me, at some point, I do think there is a significant amount of liquidity here that I think is logical that Radiant comes back and captures. So for me, that's why I've just started to offload a little bit, and I'll continue to offload out, ladder out if we go up in price. And I may even look to short Radiant if I have the balls to do it over the next few days. I need to firstly wait for a confirmed reversal and breaking of structure on the lower time frame, because obviously I don't take trades on the daily time frame. I would take it on the one hourly or four hourly. So that would only happen once you start to do something like this and reverse under and make a lower high. And then maybe I'll look to get into a short position. But until then, it's all longs and Radiant from a long term perspective, irrespective of the short term trading opportunities. For me, remains a good one to DC into on major pullback. So that is my Radiant update. It is definitely a token to watch this week, given the fact that they have their main net, but by the rumor, sell the news, maybe, maybe. And that's why I'm being cautious and offloading some spot. Let's get into Solana now. This is the talk of the town. This has been one of the market leaders over the last couple of days. And that comes off the back of a few different reasons. Firstly, the fact that there was a massive shorter that got liquidated and that caused a short squeeze to the upside. So this massive whale got liquidated on a huge Sol position. And also the fact Galaxy didn't end up selling any so far Solana from the FTX liquidation. So I did a tweet on this. Actually, I said, as bearish as the one Bill Sol liquidation seems at face value. And this was back in September, a month ago, the majority of the Sol's locked. Gallancy are incentivized to sell for the best possible price. There will be a $200 million a week cap on FTX sales. And I wouldn't be careful shorting. And pretty much this was spot on. In the end, the pre -dump was greater than the actual selling event. And once again, it's another reminder that peak FUD equals peak opportunity in crypto. I did a tweet saying I was buying Solana and Matic during the Robinhood sale FUD event. And that ended up being the local bottom. And I did another tweet again saying, I would be cautious shorting here, given the fact that we could likely see a pre -dump greater than actual selling event. And that's exactly what happened again. We saw the FUD, so the market's fear to do with the selling actually accelerate the downside quicker than the selling could actually be priced into the market. And no, there hasn't been any material selling of Sol yet. So this is another reason, a contributing factor as to why Sol pumped massively in price. A lot of people were anticipating selling and we didn't get major selling. So Solana definitely is one to watch. This isn't really one that I'm that interested in shorting. Maybe only if we start move up here into the $26 zone and then you may get an opportunity to short at range high. But for me, this is mostly looking bullish and Sol's one I've been stacking spot for quite some time. So any major pullbacks, I'll continue to look to add Sol at these key horizontal levels that I've laid out here. If you are looking at a leverage trade, I think you've missed the major trade. You would either wait for mean reversion back down to the 200 MA, then maybe you could long that's around the $22 zone if Bitcoin is still structurally holding up. And then the X level is obviously that short at $26 .5. So until then, we're in no man's land, but this is the hottest token. And it's funny seeing everyone suddenly liking Sol again after fighting it a couple of weeks ago. All of a sudden the price pumps, everyone likes it again. And that's something that Rand pointed out in his tweet. If you're looking at getting additional confluence with your trades on top of your TA, one tool that I've been using is Kyber AI. For Solana, it's a bit weird because there's only wormhole Sol. So it's not native Sol on the Solana What you can do on Kyber AI is you can see the Kyber score so you can get a bullish momentum score. This can tell you the momentum of the token based on on -chain analysis. Something I like to do is look at the changes in trading volume. So if I want confluence for a long, I'll look in a reversal from trading volume going from large sell amounts to flicking into that bullish territory where you start to see more buy volume kick in and vice versa. On the short side, I'll look for reversal from the buy into the sell zone. So Kyber AI is a tool I've been using to help my on -chain trading and you can also see here net flow to whale wallets. This gives you an idea as to whether whales are buying or not. So positive net flow where it's more green than it is red indicates that whales are buying and then if it's more red than green that's called negative net flow and that generally means that whales are starting to sell. So also interesting to see what whales are doing when it comes to positioning themselves in tokens and that's something I also look at when it comes to trading. But yeah it's not just soul that you can look at on Kyber AI. There's a bunch of other coins as well and if you actually go to their bullish section or their bearish section you can see the most bullish coins of the day. Kanto is actually one of them. This is one that fundamentally I've been doing some research into and I really do like as a project based on the limited research I've done so far and you can see that this is heavily in bullish territory and if you look at the on -chain analytics you can see buyers are starting to ramp up and we also seeing the trading volume to the buy side starting to ramp up as well. So yeah you can basically look at the most bullish coins and the most bearish coins for the day and this can help you become a much better trader. So yeah Kyber AI is one tool that I thought I would mention today in the context of this watchlist given it's a more trading centric show I guess although we are incorporating fundamentals of course as usual as per my you know normal show structure. But if you do want to use Kyber AI there's a link in the description and for every crypto bounty member that uses the link we're going to give you early access because if you're in the general public it's very hard to get access because there's a huge wait list that can take weeks to get approved. We are going to expedite approvals for crypto banter loyal viewers so link in the description below. If you do want access to Kyber AI it is a free tool so I'm not shilling you a paid service it's a free tool that I think can really benefit everyone and yeah of course Kyber is a sponsor of the show and they've been a great partner to work with because I believe they built an amazing AI product. Let's get into some of the other coins these are really interesting link especially very interesting trades being one of the most bullish coins over the last week or two and I actually have a controversial play here I'm thinking of picking off a short on link and I'll explain why even though a lot of people are starting to long link maybe this will bite me in the ass but I'm going to tell you why and I'll also give you my invalidation.

Fresh update on "16" discussed on Evening News with Art Sanders
"Bankman Sam freed on trial today in New York also for fraud related to his now defunct crypto exchange Harry Preston ABC News. News radio 1000 FM 97 7 Stay informed. It's 431. Here's the top local stories recovering for Tuesday, October the third. There are widespread concerns in western Washington about a rumor that neighbors will no longer told will be when a convicted sex offender moves into a community. It's not the case but the confusion stems from a piece of research is being considered by state advisory panel. Home Force Joe Moreno looks into the case. Once high risk sex offenders served their time and are due to be set free notifications go out to the community where they'll be placed. Last month the sex offender policy board which advises the state legislature included research in its agenda from a separate agency that says those notifications should be eliminated. We include a lot of research on both sides of the issue for us to look at not because we were going to adopt those proposals. That research also finds that sex offender registries should be reserved for law enforcement and not be made available to the public. The sex offender research is part of the model penal code which was drafted by an outside agency the chair state of the advisory panel says despite the confusion over the agenda item there is no plan to recommend these proposals here in Washington. There's a great deal of support for community notification on our board and I would be shocked proposals if any to limit that or in any way diminish that were successful. Joel Marino, Como News. It's now 433 Pierce County Sheriff's deputies are asking for help finding 49 year old Sean Lazama. He's wanted in the murder of a 41 year old Parkland man on August 5th and now has a felony arrest warrant for his now an arrest warrant has been issued for him. A judge says a 16 year old boy possesses an extreme risk to the public for his alleged role in a series of home invasions that targeted Asian families in Seattle. Como Force Jeremy Harris supports that judges ordered the teenager be kept in custody appearing in juvenile court. This 16 year old pleaded not guilty to robbery and burglary charges. Police say he is linked to four adults all now charged in connection to targeted home invasions of Asian families in Seattle. The judge judge ordered the victim was not sufficient enough to make us all feel at ease. Will and Lou an is Asian American community advocate with OCA Seattle wrong is wrong and right is right and if they're guilty they deserve what the law administers. Police and their prosecutors investigation stress is their still active and they're piecing together the 14 home invasions of Asian families. Jeremy Harris, KOMO News.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from Prioritizing American Families: A Disconnect with Career Politicians with Stefan Mychajliw
"American families are struggling to put gas in their car to pay six dollars a gallon. They're struggling to buy milk and eggs and groceries. People are really hurting in Joe Biden's America. The difference was crystal clear on that debate stage. The vague ramasami talked about his positive America First vision of how he's going to improve the American economy, put money in the pockets of people. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. We are live with Vivek Ramaswamy, deputy communications director and friend of the financial guys, Stefan Mihailu. Stefan, how are you? That's right. I'm a financial guys client and deputy comms director for Vivek Ramaswamy. I say that's a great one -two punch. That is. It's a great thing. So tell us a little bit about the overall feeling from Team Vivek or the Vivek camp, I should say, about the debate this past week. Well, I actually drove over with Vivek Ramaswamy here to the Reagan Library and there was a mission to do two things. One, let Vivek be Vivek, be presidential, be above the fray. We knew the attacks were coming. We knew the career politicians on that stage were going to attack Vivek Ramaswamy. And why? Because if you're, you know, getting kicked in the rear, that means you're out in front. So we're wholeheartedly expecting attacks from career politicians is exactly what happened. And so I'd be very concerned if a lot of the career politicians on the stage did not attack Vivek Ramaswamy. They did, and we are more than pleased with his sharing of the American people, what his America First vision is to build on the success of Donald Trump, to build on what Donald Trump laid down that foundation with Vivek Ramaswamy as a candidate for president now in 2024. So you mentioned being the hunted, and I talked to you at a different interview about this, but in debate number one, Stefan, people were trying to just learn who Vivek was at that point, right? He had a couple of zingers. He had a pretty good performance in debate one, but as debate one ended, he was getting attacked and mauled by everybody on the debate stage that night. And then debate two, they started right after him right from the get go. And I do agree with you. I think that was a very interesting thing to see. Hey, you know, and I'll tell you, Ron DeSantis didn't take that right. That beating that, or that, that try to take a beating like that. Nikki Haley didn't, Tim Scott didn't, they were going after one, well, two people, Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy on that debate stage. I was really shocked at the fact that now Chris Christie has a potential running mate in his campaign of vengeance and anger and grievance against Donald Trump. And it's Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis attacked not only Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ron DeSantis attacked Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy appeared presidential. He's staying above the fray and he's letting the American people know he's not running against Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis or any politician on that stage. Vivek Ramaswamy is running for the American people. So while we were in the green room, basically watching the debate unfold, we were very thrilled that all the queer politicians went after Vivek Ramaswamy and look, it's no different than what the queer politicians did in 2016 against Donald Trump. History repeated itself. The fact that they were going after Donald Trump in 2016 and they're doing the same thing with Vivek Ramaswamy. So let's look at a couple of those attacks that he received, Stefan. Number one was the TikTok, the TikTok attack with him doing a video. Was it Jake Paul or one of the Paul brothers? Many of the candidates on the debate stage had an issue with him doing any type of TikTok due to the China influence with TikTok. Your thoughts on that or Vivek's thoughts on that? Well, look, Vivek Ramaswamy did business in China. He saw how basically dirty and crooked the process was. So what did he do? As he said on the debate stage, he got the hell out. Now compare that with Apple and Nike and LeBron James who stayed in China, who's profiting from China. So Vivek Ramaswamy says all the time he is going to declare independence from America's greatest enemy and that is communist China. And who better to take out an enemy than someone who knows the enemy. And so as far as TikTok is concerned as well, look, Republicans, shockingly, are in the business of basically not playing within the rules and parameters of a campaign and letting Democrats run all over us for the past few decades. The Democrats are on TikTok. That's how you reach young voters. And that's exactly what Vivek Ramaswamy is going to do. Play by the rules and reach young voters. So I want to ask that question because Jake Paul actually tweeted about Vivek this week about this exact issue and I agreed with what Jake Paul said. The majority of young people between the ages of let's call it 12 and 30, their primary platform is TikTok, right? I mean, that's where they are. And was this totally calculated by Vivek Ramaswamy to get into that voting base because everybody's on Twitter, everybody's on Instagram, but TikTok and everyone can have their feelings on TikTok, Stefan. I don't personally love it either, but was this a calculated move? Vivek has feelings on TikTok. He is crystal clear about empowering parents to make sure that kids 16 and under are not on any social media platform, because as he says all the time, we don't like kids engage in highly addictive drugs like alcohol or tobacco at a very young age. And so Vivek Ramaswamy, his president, says he'll do the same with social media, empower parents and make sure they know that their kids are not on any of these platforms when it comes to running for president of the United States, you have to talk to voters in every means necessary. The Democrats are taking advantage of this medium and so too is Vivek Ramaswamy. We're here to win an election and talk to young voters. That's the way he's doing it. Before we get into the specific issues of the debate last night, I do want to talk about two quick things. Number one, what was Team Vivek's thought about the way that that was moderated, the way that the debate went? It looked very sloppy from afar. I was not in the room. I was not there like you were, but it looked very sloppy. It looked very messy with people talking over each other, people going over on their time, the moderators not asking pointed questions, getting lost in the shuffle. What were the thoughts from Team Vivek? Well, look, as a former news anchor, I know how hard it is to basically try and round up feral cats and get them to play by the rules. For the most part, Vivek Ramaswamy did. The most important rule that he honored was Reagan's 11th commandment, speak no ill will of a fellow Republican. That was the most important rule when it comes to either the moderators or the debate platform or being here in Reagan's presidential library. Don't speak ill will of a fellow Republican. Vivek honored that commandment. He talked about his positive America First vision, how he's basically going to increase and strengthen GDP growth, strengthen and protect the border using the US military to bomb cartels, keep us out of World War III, all the other career politicians on that stage just in the same way they treated Donald Trump in 2016. They wanted to attack and attack and attack not only a fellow Republican, but a business owner and political outsider. It happened eight years ago in 2016. It happened again in the second GOP debate here at the Reagan Library.
The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
Fresh update on "16" discussed on The Hair Radio Show with Kerry Hines
"Back to you, Carrie. Oh, that was a short one. Okay. Yeah, I agree. Patrick's book, you know, because it's Carrie and Happiness. And boy, I could use a dose of that this morning. Carrie and Happiness with you each day. And I so appreciate that. It really is inspiring. Yeah, share your smile. Remember that old saying where it says, your smile really is your business card? Right. Remember all of that from the talk? It's true. It really is your business card. Right. And when you are doing a business like this, it's about the attitude, having a positive attitude. Positive attitude. Your attitude is really what carries you all the way. Right. It's your attitude. That is going to determine how far you go. I remember in the airline business, we used to have the old saying, your attitude determines your altitude. Altitude. And that is very true. Yes. Very, very true. Yeah, so that's what I kind of remember. Yeah, so really good stuff. Now, coming up, Nicole, thank you. Great, great job. And I've got to ask you, what does it mean to you about that, Carrie and Happiness each day? How do you do it, Nicole Marie? Well, I feel that it is very important. I think that your smile is your business card. I mean, it's you. Your smile is infectious. And just by, you don't have to know someone. You can be just walking down the street. If you're smiling, if you're speaking to somebody, it's infectious. And you don't know whose lives you're affecting. Maybe somebody really needed that smile today. Maybe somebody really needed that hello that morning today. You never know. But you are affecting other people with your smile, your attitude, just the way you carry yourself. It's infectious towards other people. And it's very, very important. So that's what I try to do every day. And not just to infect other people, if you will, but that's just me. That's how I make it, especially on days when I'm not really feeling my best. I may not be feeling well. But guess what? When I still have that smile, when I'm still talking to people, that makes me feel better. So when you feel good, you can make other people feel good. Yeah, and it's not easy to do that, but Nicole Marie is right. You know, spread the joy. Spread the joy. You never know whose lives you're affecting. And we're here for such a short time. Exactly. We're here for such a short time. So let's remember that. Well, Nicole Marie, I am so excited. I really am, to ask you to be part of this because it's really what's next. Folks ask me, Carrie, what are you going to do next? You've reached 900 shows. 900. Wow. Yeah, over 3,000 guests. You've been on the show literally day in and day out on the job. And I've just got to say thank you. I really do. And before we go, before we finish with our host chat this morning, I just want to say, Nicole Marie, this past weekend, I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the amount of rain that we received in New York unprecedented. Oh, wow. Yeah, we received a lot. Let me give you, just so that you guys outside of New York City can kind of understand what I'm talking about. On the list here in New York of the wettest Septembers ever, a few days back we were in 11th place on that list of the wettest Septembers because we received a lot of rain in September. Well, boy, oh, boy, this last weekend, this past weekend, this very past weekend, just a few days ago, we literally moved up from 11th place on that list to number two in one day. Oh, wow. In one day. I mean, in one day, literally. You have to get with rain. In one day, how do you move up from 11th place to number two? That's a lot of rain. In one day. That's a lot of rain. I mean, it was raining here. Like, I have never seen so much water. I mean, boy, oh, boy, I didn't even know the sky had that much water. So for days and days, yesterday the sun finally returned here in New York and it'll be sunny for the next few days, so we're really excited about that in the, you know, kind of seasonal, a little bit above season. Wow. In terms of temperature. We haven't seen rain. Wow. Well, we got it up here. We'll be sending it back your way. Listen, folks, tomorrow on the Hair Radio Morning Show, again, we're back.

Bloomberg Radio New York - Recording Feed
Monitor Show 16:00 10-02-2023 16:00
"With Bloomberg, you get the story behind the story, the story behind the global birth rate, behind your EV battery's environmental impact, behind sand, yeah, sand, you get context, and context changes everything. Go to Bloomberg .com to get context. All about the US recession being more likely than a soft landing. So we spoke to Anna Wong about that, and then we just spoke to Lisa Erickson over at US Bank Wealth Management, who said the consumer is hanging in there, the consumer is hanging in there. So, you know, what's going on? But hanging in there, I don't know, you want a strong consumer, you don't want one hanging by, you know, basically their fingertips off the cliff, which is what it sounds like. A lot of people think that where we're at right now, and I guess we're going to find out in a big way, Tim, over the next couple months here as we head into the US holiday seasons. Let's get to walk you through some of the numbers here with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, going to finish the day in the red, down about two -tenths of a percent. Meanwhile, the S &P 500, which was down more than six -tenths of a percent at one point, Actually inching back into the green here at the close, only higher by less than one point here, but I guess some people will take that here. The NASDAQ composite doing a little bit better, up about seven -tenths of a percent here on the day. The NASDAQ 100 up eight -tenths of a percent, but the big laggard on the day was the Russell 2000, which was right around down about two percent at its lowest point on the day. It's going to close here, Carol, down one point six percent. Yeah, and down for the year. It's down about one -quarter of one percent. So very telling in terms of those domestic companies here in the United States. And almost down ten percent from that year -to -day high. Yeah, significant, right? And I think that we're getting a lot of market conversations around that trade in particular and what it forecast. Katie, hey, the S &P 500, not as negative as it looked certainly earlier in the day, as Romain pointed out, but still 391 names to the downside, Katie, 112 actually eking out some gains here. Yeah, and you're taking a look at the industry groups here. There's definitely more red than green. If we think about what did well, though, media and entertainment stocks.
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
A highlight from The Professors Disillusionment
"Welcome to Gospel in Life. This month we're looking at directional signposts through history that point us to Christ. All through the Old Testament from Genesis to Jonah, you see signs that point us to Jesus. Listen now to today's teaching from Tim Keller on Pointers to Christ. Verses 15 to 26. Then I thought in my heart, The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise? I said in my heart, This too is meaningless. For the wise man, like the fool, will not long be remembered. In days to come both will be forgotten. Like the fool, the wise must die. So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things that I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? All his days, his work is pain and grief. Even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless. A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God. For without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and happiness. But to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after, the win. This is God's word. one Now, of the things that an awful lot of people have said is that Ecclesiastes is a great book. In chapter 97 of Moby Dick, I know it so well, Melville says the truest of all books is Ecclesiastes. Thomas Wolfe in a pretty well -known American novel, You Can't Go Home Again, he says, one of his characters says this, Ecclesiastes is the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known, the noblest, the wisest, the most powerful expression of humanity's life on earth, the highest flower of eloquence and truth. There's an awful lot of people who talk like that, say this is the best book in the Bible, this is the truest, this is the greatest. But I can almost guarantee you that none of them felt that way the first time, not the first time they read it. Because what you have when you first read Ecclesiastes, what you're struck with, is a teacher, a professor, as we'll see, in absolute despair. The very first verses, the first few lines of Ecclesiastes go like this, meaningless, meaningless, utterly meaningless, everything is meaningless. And of course, the passage I just read is just the same. And so you have someone in utter despair with the bleakest view of life, and the reason people generally get very confused when they read it, people who are believers, people who believe in God, people who have the traditional faith, they say, I'm confused because it seems like he's contradicting everything the rest of the Bible says. And people who don't believe or have trouble believing or who are not as believing, when they read it, I'll tell you what they say. What they say is, who needs this? They say, this guy is a professor, this is the kind of guy who drinks himself into a raise on the left bank talking about the meaninglessness of life, this is the kind of guy who makes these art films that, you know, are so bleak and terrible that play in obscure little corners of Greenwich Village. Of course, the world has people like that, but most of us aren't like that, we don't see life like that. Who needs this rant? Who needs this pessimism? Now, the reason why it's so confusing is because a couple of things are missed. The first thing is because people don't realize the instructional approach. We don't exactly know who wrote Ecclesiastes, I won't get into the debate, it's debatable that Solomon writes, it doesn't matter because in the very first line, he calls himself a teacher, a word that can mean a professor. And if you read Ecclesiastes, you'll realize that this man, and it's the only book like this in the Bible, this man is running a seminar. He's not lecturing, he's not preaching, like a good philosophy professor, he's running a seminar. He is making you think. He is goading you with questions. Ecclesiastes, unlike any other book of the Bible, is not pedagogy, it's andragogy. Pedagogy literally means child instruction, memorizing, wrote, you see, drill, spoon feeding. Andragogy is a word that means adult instruction. Goading, asking questions, getting people to look at their own foundations, discovering truth for themselves. That's one of the reasons why Ecclesiastes seems so odd. But the other reason it seems so odd is because people, I don't think notice, unless you look clearly and I'm going to try to show you this morning, that the teacher is looking at life all the time. He's always saying, I see, I see, I saw this, I looked at life and I saw this, but he looks at life in two different ways and he goes back and forth between them. Let me show you the first way he looks at life and the second way he looks at life. It'll teach us a great deal. The first way he looks at life, in the first view, let's say how he looks and what he sees and why he sees it. Now, the first way he looks at life is he looks at life under the sun. You notice how three times in this passage, verse 17, 20 and 22, he says, I found this meaningless under the sun. I saw all my work under the sun was meaningless. This is a term that's used 30 times in the book. This is a term that is not used anywhere else in the Old Testament, so it's clearly critical to and very important to the whole book. And what he means by this, almost all the commentators I've ever read agree, what he means by under the sun is life here and now considered in isolation from anything else. Life under the sun is, he says, I'm going to look at the world as if this life under the sun is all that there is. I'm not going to look at life above the sun. I'm not going to think about God or eternity or heaven or hell, see. I'm not going to think of anything beyond. I'm going to look at life as if this is the only life we have, at least the only life we know. You know Carl Sagan in the beginning of every one of his Cosmos PBS segments, in the very beginning you'd hear Carl Sagan's voice come on and he would say, the cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Now most people are not atheists in the strict sense like Carl Sagan. What Carl Sagan is saying is, this life, this world, there is no heaven, there is no hell, there is no eternity, okay? There is nothing but this life, life under the sun, there's nothing else. Most people aren't atheists. Most people would say, well, I believe in God, but the modern person says, I believe in God or something, but we can't know. We can't know God's will for sure. We can't know about the after. We can't be sure. And so essentially the modern person says, we have got to live life as if this is the only life we know. And the teacher says, deal. I'm going to look at life as if it's the only life we know. That's how he's looking at it. That's the first way he looks at it. I'm going to look at life under the sun. But what does he see? What he sees is absolute inconsequentiality. Now, he kind of looks at it in several ways. He notices the injustice. If you look down, he says, it's unjust. Some people work very, very hard and never enjoy the fruit of their labor, and other people who don't deserve it at all enjoy it. And then he says, and worse than that, it's possible that you could work very hard to accomplish something in life, and then when you die, not only don't you get it anymore, but some fool comes along and takes over, and next thing you know, everything you've worked for is gone. You build an institution. You establish a school of thought. You do some good deeds, and somebody else comes along afterwards and just ruins it. But you see, that all is just, those are all just symptoms. Because up in verse 15 and 16, he really gives you the bottom line. In verse 15 and 16, as I read, he says, the fate of the fool will overtake me also. He says, therefore, this is meaningless, for the wise like the fool will not long be remembered. Now what he's bringing out here is something, again, incredibly modern, but something he's trying to grab you by the scruff of the neck and show you. And we're going to talk about why, but for now, let's say the what. We'll talk about why he's doing this, but right now, let's say what he's looking at. And what he is saying is, a wise life, a wise action, or a foolish life, a foolish action, a compassionate life, a compassionate action, a cruel life, a vicious action. In the end, makes no difference at all. None at all. If it's really true that life under the sun is all there is, if it's really true that when we die, that's it, and eventually the solar system dies, in other words, eventually something will sweep everything away, civilization will all be swept away, it won't make a bit of difference how you've lived at all. And therefore, there is no way, if you realize that life under the sun is all there is, that you can say one action is more significant than another, because it makes no difference in the end at all. Now, that's very bleak, you say. And the question comes up, why, you know, we're all smart people, we walk around, why is it that the average person, and the average person in Western culture who shares the teacher's premise that this life is all we know, but they go on out there and they don't feel that life is meaningless, they don't say one thing is as insignificant as another, that everything is ridiculous, everything is meaningless and vain and futile, no. So why does he, and here's the reason why. He looks at the whole of life, the big picture, and we refuse to. The key is, take a look at this question that he brings out, I have been meditating on this question for some years, and I just saw something this week that I'd never seen before. Here's the question he asks, and he dares you to ask the question. He says, down here in verse 22, what does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? That's the question. Every word is significant. First of all, he says, assuming that this life is all there is, first of all, he says, what is the gain? What do you get? What is the difference? Now, why do you ask that question? Because he's really showing us that you ask that question about any individual piece of your life, do you not? If somebody says to you, I would like you to go to the corner of so -and -so place, and I would like you to stand there for an hour tomorrow, you would say, for what? Well, the person says, I don't want to tell you, I'd just like you to do it. And you say, no, no, no, no. I want to know what difference it'll make, what gain there will be, otherwise it's a waste of time. You would never do anything. If it made absolutely no difference at all, if nothing came of it at all, you'd never do anything. But the thing that, in other words, we look at every part of our life like that. But the reason that the teacher comes to despair, existential despair, is because he uses a little word in that question that is so critical, and that is the word all. What do you get from the whole of your life? And the reason the average person shares the teacher's premise but does not share the teacher's despair in this world, in this Western culture, is because we refuse to use the word all. See, the average person, I mean, there's probably a lot of people right here listening to this, and you're going to sit through the 30 minutes or whatever, but you would never sit through 30 minutes personally with somebody. If somebody sat down and said, well, what do you believe about life? And you said, well, I'm kind of an agnostic, I'm kind of a, I sort of believe in God in general, it might be true, but the one thing is all we know is that we're here, we don't really know for sure why we're here or where we're going or, you know, we can't be sure. Now, the person says, well, in that case, you must, you have to look at life and say that nothing means anything, that there's no right and wrong ultimately, there's no significance between one action over another, that no one action is more meaningful or more significant than the other. And you wouldn't stand for that. You would say, oh, give me this, I took philosophy 101, this meaning in life, so philosophers need this, philosophers ask the big questions. The average person, the average person lives for the daily things. Sure, I don't know, I'm an agnostic, but I'm optimistic about life, why? Because when I take a boat ride in Central Park, I feel good, it's meaningful. When I hug somebody I love, it's meaningful. When accomplish I something at work, it's meaningful. When I do a compassionate deed as opposed to a selfish deed, it's meaningful to me. I'm having a fine life. You can't throw all this on me, you can't put me back into philosophy class. Now, you know what you're doing? You're refusing to ask the word all. There was an old Mutt and Jeff cartoon some years ago. Remember Mutt and Jeff? And at one place, Mutt, Jeff comes up and there's Mutt, and right in the middle of a street, right in the middle of a, you know, a road, a street, he has built a very, very tall pile of stones, and at the top of the pile of stones, there's a lantern, and Jeff says to Mutt, oh, Mutt, why did you build this pile of stones? Oh, he says, that's easy, so I could put the lantern up there. So that it's up high so that it gives a lot of light. Oh, okay. Why did you put the lantern up there? Well, I want the lantern up there so the cars will see the pile of stones and they won't crash into it. Why did you put the pile of stones there for the car to crash into? Well, so that I could put the lantern up there. Now, what is he doing? It's very simple. He's finding meaning of one part in the meaning of another part, but he's refusing to ask the question, does the whole thing have any use, or is it just stupid? Why do you work? Usually, a person says, I'll tell you why I work, so that I can do things that I like to do. I have avocations, I've got hobbies, I've got leisure, I like travel. Why? Well, that really recharges my batteries. Why? So I can work. See, the lantern is for the stones, the stones are for the lantern, and if you refuse to stand back and say, but what is the whole thing for? What is the whole thing for? How do you know your whole life isn't stupid? That your whole life isn't pointless? How do you know your whole life is not just a very, very large stone lantern in the middle of a highway? How do you know this? Now, here's what the teacher is saying. The teacher is saying, grow up. This is not pedagogy, this is andragogy. Don't be an ostrich. Ask yourself the question. If you would never do one thing, if it made no difference at all, okay, it would be meaningless, it would be a waste of time, unless it made a difference. What difference does your whole life make? What are you living for? What difference does it all make? Now, the average person just does not want to hear this. I had a little conversation with somebody, by the way, I know very well, I'll get back to why I think this was a valid conversation, but it's a dangerous one. I had a conversation not too long with somebody I knew very, very well, and this person had just said, what he said was, he says, you know what, the way you know what's right and wrong is, there's no reasons for it, there's no way to know what's right and wrong, you just have to know what's right and wrong in your heart, and if you know in your heart, then it's right, and then you just need to do it, and that's how you live, that's how you find meaning in life. And I said, well then, what do you say to Hitler? He felt it real hard in his life, and he did it, so that was okay. Oh no, my friend said, well you know, he says, the trouble is, most of the people's hearts in the world know that what Hitler was doing was wrong, therefore it was wrong. And I said, well you know, up to 150 years ago, most of the hearts of the world thought slavery was just fine. Do you think slavery was just fine? No. Why not? And he just looked and he shrugged and he says, you know, these things are so complex, if you think about this, you'll just dig a hole. Now this is a person I knew a very long time, and it was very, very cordial. Now here's the question. The teacher is saying, when someone says, I don't need to ask this question, I don't need to ask this question, what you really are saying is, my optimistic agnosticism, and that's the worldview the teacher is trying to absolutely smash, my optimistic agnosticism will fall apart if I ask that question. It can't deal with that question. It is demolished by that question. It is absolutely inadequate to that question. Optimistic agnosticism. Life under the sun is all there is, but there's moral truth. There's human rights. There's human dignity. Listen, if your origin isn't significant, you come from nothing, and if your destiny is insignificant, you're going to nothing, have the guts to admit that your life is insignificant. And stop talking, as if, on the one hand, you feel like you can poke holes in other people's inconsistencies. You'll poke holes in Muslims who say, I believe in God, but then they do something wrong, or Christians who say, I believe in God, do something wrong. You'll poke holes in everybody else's inconsistency, but you won't look at your own. You know, Jean -Paul Sartre made a very interesting statement. His most famous essay was right after the war, 1946. He wrote his essay called Existentialism and Humanism, and this is what he said. He says, God does not exist, and we have to face all the consequences of this. The existentialist is strongly opposed to a certain kind of secular ethics which wants to abolish God with the least possible expense. The existentialist, indeed, thinks it is very distressing that God does not exist, because all possibility of finding any values disappears with God. There can be no a priori good, since there is no infinite and perfect consciousness to think it. So nowhere is it written that we must be honest. Nowhere is it written that we must not lie, because the fact is we're on a plane where there's only us, human beings. Dostoevsky said, if God didn't exist, everything would be permissible. That is the very starting point of existentialism. If God does not exist, there is nothing within or without that can legitimize any conduct. Now, you know what is very interesting to me? Sartre took this idea, life under the sun is all there is, and you know what he says? He says, don't talk to me in any way that says that you believe that one kind of conduct is more legitimate than any other kind. One of the things that's come out recently, he died in 1980, one of the things that's come out over the last few years is what a misogynist he was. Jean -Paul Sartre was very bad to women, the women he knew, and he was very misogynist, but you know what? Whenever I read the people who accept his premise about life, and then get very upset about it, if he was alive, he would rise up, and he was only 5 '2", so that's, he would rise up, and he would say, please. He would say, you want to be free. You want to say, I am free to do what I want to do. You want to be free. As far as I know, this life is all there is. I'm not controlled by eternity, by moral absence, by God. I want to be free. Then you have got to have the guts to accept the utter meaninglessness of all distinctions. You want to be free, fine, but you have to accept it. Meaningless, meaningless, utterly meaningless, everything is meaningless. Come on. You know, Christians look like real hard -nosed skeptics compared to a view that says, life under the sun is all there is, but I'm optimistic. I have meaning in life. I can enjoy things. I know some things are right, some things are wrong. I know it's better to be compassionate than to be violent. I know these things. Talk about blind faith. Talk about naive religiosity. why Now, is he doing this? Because he also tends to see life, the preacher, the teacher, the professor sees life in a different way. One of the biggest obstacles for people to believe in Christianity is that they think they already know all about it. But if we look at Jesus' encounters with various people during His life, we'll find some of our assumptions challenged. We see Him meeting people at the point of their big, unspoken questions. The Gospels are full of encounters that made a profound impact on those who spoke with Jesus. And in His book, Encounters with Jesus, Tim Keller explores how these encounters can still address our questions and doubts today.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from God's Plan for World Evangelism (Part 1)
"Mark chapter 16 in your Bibles. Mark chapter 16, last chapter in the book, I believe. Mark chapter 16. God's plan for world evangelization. And I'm happy to say here this morning that he does have a plan. No FNS or buts about it. For world evangelization. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. So loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. Okay? Let me ask the question, why is Trinity Baptist Church here? I could say a lot of negative things and then I would think of some more. Trinity Baptist Church here is not here just to make a name for itself, even though I might say that it has. It's not here to entertain people. It's here to carry out a tremendous commission that God has given us that we're going to read about here in just a moment. But it's tremendous and great responsibility that the Lord has given to us. It says it all right here in these verses I'm going to read this morning. Here in Mark 16, we're going to start reading in verse 15. And he said unto them, his disciples, who was following him, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. And he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe. In my name they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up servants or serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Would you bow with me in prayer? Heavenly Father, we thank you this morning for this opportunity just to stand here and open this precious book called the Bible, the Word of God. Lord, we thank you for this month already. Here it is, the first day, first Sunday, Lord, that we now have entered into our missions month. Father, I will first of all want to thank you for how you have used the Trinity Baptist Church down through the years in the area of missions. That's been made possible because of faithful people that have followed your leadership, your guidance, and have been obedient to doing their part in making this ministry what it is, and of course I believe it's going to grow. The sun never sets on the ministry of this church. We're so thankful we gave you all the honor, the glory, and the praise for it. And then Father, as Brother Shelton said, we do thank you for those visiting today. We thank you for every person that's here today. We pray for that person who may be here today, who's never trusted Christ. May this be that special day in their lives when they repent of sin and give their hearts to Christ. And then I'll pray, Lord, for the encouragement and strength of your people. And Lord, I think I said it, but I want to repeat myself, and I'm thankful that the church appreciates their pastor, but not any more than I appreciate every one of them. Thank you, God, for them and their faithfulness in doing what they're doing to make this church what the Bible says it ought to be, and even carrying out and doing what our passage reads we have read here this morning.

A highlight from Your-Weekly-Tech-Update-EP-134
"Hello everyone! Welcome to your weekly tech update, the show that explores the newest, coolest, and sometimes mind -boggling side of tech available on the interwebs. I am your host, Ray McNeil. Coming up on the program today, Google Meet video calls are getting a Zoom -like layout. Impossible Foods rolls out to nearly one thousand new grocery stores and supermarkets, and will take your mind off the world and put a smile on your face with this week's Moment of Joy. That and a whole lot more coming up on today's edition of your weekly tech update, next. Google Meet will undergo huge changes over the next few weeks as the tech giant rushes to make it a more viable alternative to Zoom. To start with, the video conferencing tool is now directly accessible from within Gmail for business and education users. Those who prefer Zoom for its gallery -like layout that can show up to 25 participants at once would probably be more excited to get another feature coming later this month. Google will roll out a new layout option that can display up to 16 participants. There's already a Chrome extension that can mimic the Zoom feature for Meet, but its official release means there's no need for a workaround anymore. The company will also enhance Meet's video quality in dim lighting and its ability to filter out background noise in the coming weeks. In addition, an upcoming feature will allow users to display a specific tab open on their Chrome browser during a call. Zoom recently enjoyed a surge in popularity due to a shelter -at -home order, but it suffered from various privacy issues that has prompted a lot of organizations. including several school districts in the U .S. to ban it outright. With these changes, Meet could become a new decent alternative to Zoom, especially since its premium features are free to use until September 30th. Disney set the streaming -only premiere date for live -action sci -fi fantasy Artemis Fowl on its Disney Plus service worldwide, hoping it gives more juice to the subscription VOD product while all of the theaters are closed. Artemis Fowl, directed by Kenneth Branagh, will be exclusively available on Disney Plus beginning on Friday, June 12th. It had originally been set for a May 29th theatrical debut. Based on the best -selling book by Irish author Ian Culfer, Artemis Fowl follows the journey of a 12 -year -old criminal mastermind as he desperately tries to save his kidnapped father. Artemis must infiltrate an ancient underground civilization of fairies and track down the Oculus, the fairies' most powerful and coveted magical device, to pay the ransom. In a statement, Branagh said that Artemis Fowl would be as proud as I am that families around the world will now be able to enjoy his first amazing screen adventures together on Disney Plus. Artemis Fowl stars newcomer Ferdia Shaw in the title role, alongside Laura Macdonald, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozzi, Josh Maguire, Nikesh Patel, and Adrian Scarborough, with Colin Farrell and Judi Dench. Branagh and Judi Hofflin are producing, with Angus Moore Gordon and Matthew Jenkins serving as executive producers. Connor McPherson and Hamish McCall wrote the screenplay. Amid the COVID -19 crisis, Disney has postponed nearly every one of its forthcoming movie releases, including Black Widow, Mulan, The New Mutants, The Eternals, Jungle Cruise, and Indiana Jones 5. The media conglomerate is betting that Artemis Fowl will draw more subscribers into Disney Plus, which surpassed 50 million paying customers worldwide in its first five months of service. That's been buoyed by its recent launch in India and eight Western European countries, along with the early release of Frozen 2 on the subscription service. In the U .S., Disney Plus is $6 .99 monthly, or $69 .99 for a one -year subscription.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Neil Mammen
"Ladies and gentlemen, looking for something new and original. Something unique and without equal. Look no further. Here comes the one and only Eric Metaxas. Folks, welcome to the program. I am so excited right now. I could burst almost literally, but not literally. I have on a friend, Neil Mammon, who is involved in something that I've been talking about for some time. It's really exciting. So before I tell you all about it, why don't I just say welcome, Neil Mammon. Thank you, Eric. Good to be here again. Okay. We're going to be talking about something. I can't believe it exists. I feel like I dreamt it up, but nobody would ever execute such a thing. But you and Roger Elswick have made this a reality. This is a big deal. This is an answer to a real problem we have. I say everywhere I go that folks, if you're going to a church that is not dealing with the issues in our culture, that is unwilling to face this and that is whistling in the wind, that is fiddling while Rome burns, you need to find another church. I say this over and over and I beg people, God will judge you for sitting in a church that is shrinking from its duty before God to speak to these issues. And then the question is, people say, well, where would I go to a church? So, Neil, tell us. Well, the problem is really, really obvious and I get that all the time. I go around speaking, people go, oh, do you know a good church in this area or that area? Well, it turns out that more than that, it turns out 1 .7 million people look for a new church every month. 1 .7 people look for a new church. A billion. A billion. And now if you assume that's a family unit here or there, that's about 5 million people looking for a new church every month. 5 million. Most of them, turns out, it's Sunday morning. So I wanted to do some research on it, so I went on, you know, the source of all information is Google's Bard Artificial Intelligence. And I said, tell me what sort of churches these people are looking for. And Bard comes back with, oh, they're looking for progressive, more loving, more accepting churches. That's what Google's Bard said. And I said, really? Is that true? I don't believe that. So I said, give me the information. Give me the evidence of that. By the way, before I start, I should mention this. I have a statistic. I want a statistic. I want your readers. I don't want you to guess because you'll know the answer. Here's a quote. Only 17 percent of Americans go to church. The interest in religion is minimal. And in New York, single women are more likely to be sexually active than attend a church. Worse, 33 percent of all pregnancies in New York are out of wedlock. Now, I ask people, what decade do they think that is? And they always say, oh, oh, that's 1990s, 2000s, whatever, right? You know, actually, this is 1990s because today is probably a lot worse. But we'll come back to that. But so so I asked Bard, I said, what what since you think that these are people looking for progressive churches, can you give me a list of the growth rate of progressive churches? And Bard said, OK, so it gives me this rate and it's you know, it shows me this list of people of churches and like the UMC. They've dropped like 50 percent, the Presbyterian, the USA, you know, the liberal Presbyterian Church, they've dropped by 38 percent. And so I go down that list and I ask I ask I say, well, give me the list of all the progressive churches and how they've grown in the last 20 years. So from 2000 to 2020. So in 2000, the progressive total people going to progressive total was about 18 .7 million. And today it's about 16 .8 million. So they've dropped by 10 percent total. There's no surprise people going to these ridiculous, you know, quote unquote progressive churches that have veered away from biblical doctrine. I'm surprised anybody goes to those. Exactly. I mean, the the Presbyterians, they've dropped. The Presbyterians were the ones that dropped by 50 percent. The UMC has dropped by 15 percent. Yeah, because why go to a church like that when you could go to to like a local, you know, Neil, where are you going? What's the punch line? Because I'm getting confused. Are you? I know there's my assumption would be that most people who actually care about church are trying to find a conservative church, a church that teaches biblical doctrine, but also that speaks to the issues that people like because many people can go to these ridiculous mega church or whatever, where they they're avoiding the hot button issues that everybody has to deal with when they leave that church, their kids are dealing with it, everybody's dealing with it. What's going on in America? So the idea is, how do you find those churches? So I know that's where you're heading with this. So I turned the bar and I said, OK, now give me the conservative churches. I'm on board just looking for liberal churches, progressives. I said, give me the conservative churches. And it gives me things like, oh, the Orthodox Presbyterians, they have grown by 50 percent in the last 20 years. The Orthodox Russians have gone by 29 percent. Independent Baptists have grown by 33 percent. The conservative. And so I did I said, what about the Calvary church? The Calvary churches have grown by one hundred and fifty percent. And then the you know, even the Southern Baptists who's stuck in the news all the time, they've grown by seven and a half percent. OK, but conservative total have grown from sixty seven million people in 2000 going to these conservative churches to ninety two million going to these conservatives. So they've grown by almost thirty seven percent in the last 20 years. Now, what's interesting about this and this is the kicker here. This is all pre covid data. It didn't have any data for twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. This is twenty twenty. And as you know, and you're going to be preaching in my church in Santa and in in San Jose and sometime in your future Calvary Chapel, San Jose, right. They grew from three hundred people to three thousand people over covid. Why? Because a couple of things is very important here. Pastor Mike said, I'm not going to let the state determine what I'm doing. I'm going to be legislated, be active with voter guides. We had candidates coming in who's fighting the state. Remember, we say we're the finest church in all of America because we have four million dollars in Calvary Chapel, San Jose, because we wouldn't shut down for covid. So churches like these have been exploding all over the nation. So just these numbers are three years old and I can't seem to get the twenty twenty three numbers. So, no, the people who are looking for church. And so I went back to Bartlett said, well, this is the growth rate. Our people are really looking for more progressive rates. And, you know, I always say, well, I'm really sorry. I apologize. Yes, you're right. They must be looking for conservative Bible believing fundamentalist churches is what it comes back to. So it actually says, oh, yeah, you're right. You were correcting me on it. Right. So the issue here is then why? How do we find these if five million people are looking for churches every single month, how are they going to find these conservative churches? OK, this is this is a very long way of getting to the punch line, because this is such an exciting punch line, Neil, that I am just at the bit to get to this. We started. I know what I mean. I just want to say.

Former President Trump could be in New York City on Monday for his civil fraud trial. Trump's lawyers revealed his plans on Friday while discussing another case, a lawsuit against his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Trump was set to undergo a deposition in that case in Florida on Tuesday, but his lawyers asked the court to postpone it so he could get to the New York trial, which opens Monday. Earlier this week, the judge overseeing the New York case ruled that Trump had been overvaluing his properties and was liable for fraud.

I'm getting ready to go to Vegas for the CNFTCON, now called NFT -LV. Jeremiah's going to be there. No, no. Sawtooth is going to be there. Jeremiah, just happy he bought some Chainlink. Guys, we got a great show today. We're talking about the ETH futures. We're breaking that down. Also, we're talking about Bitcoin. Tim has something special to show you on the charts. Circle listing. And my fiancé might pop up on camera, and she's going to tell a story how I was the world's worst fiancé ever this morning. So she might come on camera and tell the tale. You know, I am a family -oriented man. And you know what? I'm bringing my one and only woman here on camera. Alright, guys, make sure you are sub to the channel here. Discover crypto. Check out all the other channels. Nothing but love for Frankie. Frankie had a big announcement yesterday. We still love Frankie. There's no hard feelings. And we're applauding and celebrating Frankie here at Discover Crypto. Still going to be collabing with him. Still going to be working with him. He's still working in the building. Yeah, we're going to see him literally every day. Well, I didn't want to tell that much. But yeah, he's still here, folks. Yeah. He's literally still here. Tony, Tony, Tony. I think he's like, he's still in the candle mafia house, though. He's still in the basement. Well, he shoots certain videos from home and certain videos from here. Like literally, his schedule will not change whatsoever. But the difference, and we're very excited for him, is he will completely own everything he does. Everyone here is excited for him. Shout out to Frankie Candles. I still predict, Deezy. There's a lot of, I want to make sure I preface this right, because even I do TA. There's a lot of good technical analysts out there. I still predict Frankie Candles will be the number one crypto TA channel in 2025. I would, I will say I would agree with that with maybe one person still going to be beating him, still going to be putting out a lot of content. And we all love him. Frankie loves him. I've talked to him, you know, MM Crypto. And there's something about that guy. When the bull market hits, I mean, guys, you might see some strong thumbnails now. Wait till the bull market. If you haven't been through a bull market with MM Crypto thumbnails, you haven't really experienced a bull market, folks. And I also love how he has 17 exclamation points on MM Crypto's titles. He has a very interesting title selection there. Well, folks, let's get right into the show. All right, first, should we lead with the world's worst fiance? Let's do it after Crypto Market Cap. Yeah. All right, we're gonna go ahead, show the prices, and I'll tell you why I was the world's worst fiance. Kat, are you okay? Just briefly telling the short section of that story in about two minutes. All right, first, let's get into the crypto market cap here. I just refreshed and we are moving up, folks. We are still above 1 .1 trillion. We are up 0 .8%. 24 -hour volume was right around 50 yesterday. I think it was like 54. Today, it's 48. So, largely the same. Bitcoin dominance has fallen, however. We went from 47 .1. We were hanging out there forever, jumped up to 47 .4, and now we're down to 47 .0. And strangely, gas is only 14 Gwei. I don't get how gas is so low right now. I was swapping some alts the other day. We have Bitcoin down 0 .1 % and Ethereum up 1 .8%. And that is the large reason why you're seeing the dominance change here. Just the two biggest cryptos moving in opposite direction, albeit slightly. We have BNB 0 .5 % to the upside. But I think who's really celebrating today is the XRP community. XRP is up 5 % today. Is it anticipation for XRP's party in New York City tonight, you think? What are your thoughts? Was it a TA level? It was just bound to happen? Or are people really excited about partying in the Big Apple? Well, not me. I'm not that big of a party person. And shout out to New York. But I don't really like going to New York. You don't like going to New York? If you had one reason why you avoid New York, what is that one reason? There's many a reason. I just don't like city life like that. I like being out, not the middle of nowhere, but like the middle of somewhere rather than the middle of everywhere. I like being in the middle of nowhere near somewhere. All right, we have Cardano up 2 .8%. Another big pump for the top 10 here. We have Solana. Solana is up 4 .5%. It is now above $20. Looking like it might turn $20 into support. It likes hanging around that psychological level. Tron is also up 3 .5%. We do have something moving down. And that is TonCoin. TonCoin, the hottest coin last month, two months ago. Now it's a little bit as maybe Chainlink's taken some of its juice. And you can see Chainlink flat for the day. But if you look at the weekly there, you can see 16%. And that is higher than every single coin above it. In fact, no coin has even gotten to the double digits, except for Bitcoin Cash. And Bitcoin Cash, you know, kind of an asterisk next to that coin as far as price movement. Shiba is also moving to the upside. But now it is time to look at the biggest gainers. The biggest gainers in the world is going to be me at the blackjack table. It's going to be a cat at the slots. All right, the world's biggest gainers. What do we have? We have Sweet.

Leading Saints Podcast
A highlight from YSA Thoughts on YSA-Led Efforts
"As many of you know, we recently published three episodes from the new podcast called At the Table. This is produced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints, and I had the privilege to help with this project as a consultant. After publishing the recent podcast on leading saints, those working at the church on this project were so impressed by the results and the feedback from the audience that they asked if we could share more episodes. Enjoy! And don't forget to send your feedback by taking the survey for each individual episode, which we will link in the show notes. help us all follow Jesus Christ together. I'm Jared Pearson, and I have the pleasure to be a co -host on the At the Table podcast. I'm currently in Provo, Utah, but I was born and raised in Livermore, California, right outside San Francisco, California. I ended up serving my mission in New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Manchester Mission, and some of my favorite things are playing pickleball, tennis, or staying inside playing some board games or reading books as well. And I'm just really excited to be part of this. My name is Kami Castrijon. I'm originally from Colombia. I was born and raised there, and I moved to the United States when I was 16. I moved to the big city of New York, and that's where I joined the church. And then soon after, I served my mission in Riverside, California. Then after my mission, I moved to Utah, and I've been here ever since. I love dancing, especially salsa, hiking, baking, and I am thrilled to be part of this amazing podcast At the Table. Welcome to the At the Table podcast. This is a debut podcast where we're going to discuss some important things having to do with YSAs and other people around the church and what new initiatives are going to happen. Specifically, we're going to follow some of the strengthening YSA principles that have been released by the church just recently. And here with us, we have a couple of new guests, and we'll go ahead and let them introduce themselves. My name is John. I'm originally from New Jersey, but I'm here in Utah at the University of Utah. I'm Mary, and I also live here in Utah. I like John, go to the University of Utah, lived here my whole life aside from my mission in Alabama. Well, awesome. We're happy to have you here. How long ago did you serve? I was there a little over two years ago, and I served in a little Spanish branch. Shout out to the Cahaba Spanish branch in Birmingham, Alabama. And then I served for 10 months on the campus at University of Alabama, as well as serving in the family ward there. I would translate all the sacrament meetings, and then I was called back to the Spanish branch to finish out the rest of my So mission. I got to know those two areas very well. They're very near and dear to my heart. That's awesome. John, did you serve a mission? Yeah, I did. I actually served here in Utah, just up in Ogden. So I didn't even know they needed missionaries here in Utah, but I guess so. Yeah, I was here about two years ago, and I loved it. So I just stayed. I just stayed here in Utah, and now I'm going to school. So you're both at school here. So what are you both studying? I'm studying strategic communications and Spanish. Big fan of communicating. Maybe that's why I'm here speaking on a podcast. My major is world languages and cultures for now. That's probably going to change. I don't know, but I've just always kind of had an interest in world languages and cultures. So that's what I'm doing right now. That's cool that you guys served missions and that you loved that and you moved to here. Can you tell us a little bit of your experience here and how you've collaborated with other YSAs and how you've seen that you've been able to lead? Absolutely. I have done a lot within my ward specifically, but also within the institute. And I know institute classes look a lot different depending on where you are living, but basically just being able to gather with YSA has been hugely influential for my life, not just in the way that I've been supported, but in the way that I've been able to serve and connect with others around me. And that includes during COVID, during the time that we couldn't really matter and what connection really is and how to make that time when you gather actually worthwhile.

A highlight from VanEck Commits ETF Profits To Protocol Guild
"VanEck, an ETF and mutual fund manager, announced its commitment to donate 10 % of its profits from the forthcoming eFute ETF to Protocol Guild. The contribution is scheduled to continue on a regular basis for a minimum of the next decade. Protocol Guild is a collective comprised of over 150 Ethereum core contributors. Protocol Guild solves funding and coordination challenges for core protocol development. VanEck is set to host a Twitter space with Protocol Guild on October 4th. The VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF, also known as eFute, is an upcoming ETF centered on investing in cash -settled ETH futures contracts traded on CME. Smart contract auditing firm Chain Security released its audit findings for EIP47AA, a proposal aiming to expose beacon chain routes in the EVM for accessing consensus layer information. The audit revealed no critical severity issues, one high severity issue, and six low severity issues. The high severity issue pertained to incorrect data retrieval. The smart contract's GET function could be queried using the zero timestamp even without a value set. The issue could mislead integrators into recognizing a zero hash as a valid beacon route, posing a risk for potential exploits. The issue has since been recetified by adding an exploit check to block queries with the zero timestamp. Additional improvements from the audit include gas optimizations related to the ring buffer size. A vote to transfer 16 ,000 Ether from the ENS -style treasury to an ENS endowment overseen by Carpetkey is currently underway. The transfer represents the second installment of funds sent to the endowment, a first installment of 16 ,000 Ether, was sent in February which has since been managed to generate a 4 % APY for the ENS -style. The endowment currently holds over $10 million invested in LIDO's SDEth liquid staking token. ENS delegate and member of the staking community SuperFizz voted against the proposal as a portion of the second installment will be converted into SDEth. SuperFizz noted that Carpetkey maintains a relationship with LIDO. The largest staking provider with a 32 % market dominance. The on -chain vote will end on October 4th. Lastly, Ethereum .org announced the second iteration of its Writers Cohort, a three -week online program designed to inspire community members to write about Ethereum. The initiative helps contributors in enhancing their writing and communication skills and in building an online presence. Participants will have access to live workshops, writing resources, and the Ethereum .org community members. Applications are now open with the program starting on October 20th. This has been a roundup of today's top news stories in Ethereum. You can support this podcast by subscribing and following us on Twitter at ethdaily. Also subscribe to our newsletter at ethdaily .io.

"It has a blank there for the lecture number, and you can write in 11, I think it's written in, and the importance of the local church. Now you're getting the whole lecture, the balance of these today, we don't have questions, except for one, we do have the slides to show you. The importance of the local church. Now I don't think I need to spend much time on that. The local church is the important organism in the world today, not organization, but an organism, and it is the important ministry today. I personally believe the local church is the very basis for everything we do. We ought to do it in and through the local church, and we ought to honor the local church. Now a lot of people say, well, don't you believe in the church, the body of Christ? Yes. I believe there's a sense, the general assembly of the first born, the church in prospect, I believe there's a sense in which we can read about the body of Christ in the New Testament. Not too many references, the ones I mentioned in Hebrews, some in Ephesians. Of the 114 times, now the figure varies, but I'll stick with this, 114 times we find the New Testament, of the 114 times translated into the word church, at least 90, and I think we could say probably 95 times of those times, it refers specifically to a local church. The overwhelming burden about the church in the New Testament, to the church at Corinth, to the churches of Galatia, to the church at Philippi, to the seven churches in Revelation, the overwhelming number of references translating ekklesia refer to a local church. Now the word ekklesia you know means a called out assembly, and the church of the first born, the body of Christ, has never assembled. Well, Schofield I think probably mistakenly called it the invisible church, certainly it's never assembled, it's a called out group, but it's never had the privilege of an assembly. Well not until we get into the presence of the Lord, and so the assembled church is that with which God deals in the New Testament, and that's our local churches, and there's work in the world than the ministry of a local church, and we ought to thank God for the privilege of it, and we ought not despair because maybe our church seems a bit small, in God's sight He honors the local church regardless of the numerical size, it's the honored work of God. And so we need to recognize that, and I've got down here capital letter B, the local church important in the economy of God, and we come back to the Great Commission. The Great Commission was given to the eleven disciples, and those disciples or apostles became the very foundation of the local church, of the church the Bible says the church is built, Ephesians 2.20, on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. By the way, there are no apostles today, no apostles on the scene at all, they were the foundation of the local church, or of the church in Ephesians, according to Ephesians chapter 2. And so the commission was given to the eleven disciples, that means as those apostles it was given to the church, and in each case you'll note in Matthew 28 verse 16 says eleven disciples, Mark 16 verse 14 he appeared unto the eleven, Luke 24 verse 33 talks about it was the eleven that he appeared in verse 36, and John 20 and 21 it was to the disciples Jesus appeared and stood in their midst, and Acts chapter 1 verse 2 he came unto the apostles, and it was they with whom he was assembled in verse 4, therefore it was to those that he gave the commission in verse 8. So the commission was given to those eleven and therefore automatically transferred to the local church, to the church, and we are the recipients of that. Yes sir? I personally believe it was at Pentecost.

They love it. <Speech_Male> They're kind <Speech_Male> of <Speech_Male> more defied <Speech_Male> cars and they have <Speech_Male> controlled speed, <Speech_Male> and they <Speech_Male> look a bit weird. <Speech_Male> A bit <Speech_Male> of attractor, but <Speech_Male> a mixture of a car is <Speech_Male> like a hybrid. <Speech_Male> So it's a drunk <Speech_Male> tractor sex. <Speech_Male> Exactly. It's a very <Speech_Male> specific movement. <Speech_Male> That's happening Sweden <Speech_Female> at the moment. <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> Right, I don't know what to do <Speech_Female> now. Should <Speech_Female> we have number <SpeakerChange> two? <Speech_Male> It's quite serious, <Speech_Male> actually, after, but let's <Speech_Male> have a listen. He's actually <Speech_Male> the most famous Swedish <Speech_Male> rapper <Speech_Male> at this <Speech_Male> moment. His name is <Speech_Male> yasin, and <Speech_Male> the song's called <Speech_Male> hard day. <Speech_Male> Have you? Baby some deep <Speech_Music_Male> thought you want me <Speech_Music_Male> to hold it <Speech_Music_Male> that the motherfuckers <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> have caught my hand <Music> busting loop <Speech_Music_Male> on mummy and let <Speech_Music_Male> the little bucks here <Speech_Music_Male> come in first <Music> and loop on my <Music> head. <Music> Let me show them different <Music> homie dicks <Music> a hearty <Music> let me some <Speech_Music_Male> dipped up the <Speech_Music_Male> homie dicks a <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> hard day <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> balling up. <Speech_Music_Male> They said so miss <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> into that <SpeakerChange> thing <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> yes and it is <Speech_Male> an interesting story <Speech_Male> here, Emma, because <Speech_Male> he's being detained <Speech_Male> for ten months <Speech_Male> for an attempted <Speech_Male> kidnapping <Speech_Male> of a fellow <Speech_Male> rapper, <Speech_Male> a finance so he does have <Speech_Male> a lot of problems <Speech_Male> with the police. <Speech_Male> But even with all <Speech_Male> this kind of complication, <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> he's still <Speech_Male> Sweden's most <Speech_Male> popular rapper. <Speech_Male> And he's doing very well <Speech_Male> at <Speech_Male> the chance as well. So <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> it's an interesting one. <Speech_Male> People <Speech_Male> seem to <Speech_Male> love him actually. <Speech_Female> Finally, <Speech_Male> finally. Number one, <Speech_Male> that's why I chose <Speech_Male> to do sweet in this year <Speech_Male> because <Speech_Male> Sweden once again <Speech_Male> is the favorite between <Speech_Male> a revision this year. <Speech_Male> But this <Speech_Male> time, Lorraine <Speech_Male> is back. <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> She's the one. I didn't know she'd <Speech_Female> ever gone away. <Speech_Female> Remind us who Lorena is <Speech_Female> in case she's not been <Speech_Female> in constant <Speech_Female> play on <Speech_Male> our system. <SpeakerChange> She's <Speech_Male> definitely being a means one <Speech_Male> of the most iconic Eurovision <Speech_Male> tracks of all <Speech_Male> time. She won back in <Speech_Male> 2012 <Speech_Male> with euphoria. <Speech_Male> I mean, <Speech_Male> that song was <Speech_Male> amazing. <Speech_Male> And in fact, <Speech_Male> then the <Speech_Male> show was hosted in malmo <Speech_Male> in 2013. <Speech_Male> That was my first year of <Speech_Male> vision that I've <Speech_Male> attended working. <Speech_Male> So <Speech_Male> Lorraine has a special <Speech_Male> place in my heart and she's <Speech_Male> the favorite this year. <Speech_Male> I don't think <Speech_Male> tattoo the song we're <Speech_Male> going to hear now is as good <Speech_Male> as euphoria, but <Speech_Male> it's kind <SpeakerChange> of a gross <Speech_Female> Sweden <Speech_Female> entrepreneur vision. <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> Everybody have a <Speech_Female> listen. Here we go.

"And of course they're calm their principles or a of of their business model in one of them is obviously fresh ingredients using stuff that's local you know paying back to where they are from so from my standpoint. I asked them maybe some stupid questions. For instance where do you get your ingredients from. I'm talking you know that's not stupid. They're out of san francisco. They don't have. I'm sure that they can't get everything. No that's what i was thinking. Farmers markets are huge. Their their street. Vendors. there is a net. Well i don't think there's a network of farms but so yeah and they set me right by explaining how the the amount of stuff that they have to get my thing was maybe what unique ingredient from all these lower level sort of you know like again as a home brewer. I'm doing a five gallon batch. Ten gallon batch fifteen gallon. Whatever i don't need as much ingredients for my beer that you need to do upscale of you know the stuff that they're making. I can get stuff and put it in there but all of a sudden you can start making you know sixty gallon sixty towns and things like that you need to get a hell of a lot more abra cots and pumpkin and book mango and all those stuff. So this is interesting question. That i asked them. This is what they had to say. It would be extremely difficult to process specifically safe route or the amount of fruit it takes to brew any single one of our beers We put upwards of three thousand of fruit at this point In some of our beer's already pureed it from awesome vendors. Make awesome through. We're always on the lookout for new stuff as well just because there's so much out there but we would need even entire processing facility and way to store it. Not all fruits are also available. They're not in season all the time. So having vendors that used for that is awesome..

"My pants so the thing i was curious about is where is their footprint so if you go online again to bear bottle dot com they do have a map that shows where distribution is and. I'm like why is it so small. Why is their footprint so small brandon. Not they're not mass distributed brewery so for those who can have don't know what all that entails. Is we have our own sales team. We have delivery drivers. We have on delivery vehicles. We kind of have this. you know. Soft disdain for distribution In the sense that we wanna make sure that all the relationships that we have with bars and restaurants retailers there are relationships. You know there's nothing standing in between us and our customers What's nice about. This is this model is it allows us to get beer out to people super fresh and super fast or example when we aim. Amd a twelve hundred. You know gallons of forty barrel. Batch of hazy. Ip a there's a good chance that sixty percent seventy percent magic goes out the next day you know and that's cool because then the bars that are putting the beer on draft or cans the retailers equipment cans on the shelves. Like you're getting one day old beer versus having to sit through distributors warehouse. And they're going to sell the older stuff first before they sell the pressure stuff though the limitation of this is your question how far we can go while we only go as far as we can drive to enacting one day so the go as far north as sacramento in some of the suburbs surrounding it the go as far east as livermore and then we go as far china's southwest as santa cruz. So it's kind of that triangle Can between us in the day. That said we get our beer out you but we also you know sell two to four. We also sell through craft shacks brandon. I had another question. Okay yeah i wrote them all out on my my steno pad or whatever they want to come on all right. So if there's a bunch of competitions bunch of homebrew is going on in their just winning awards and they're so connected to these things. Is there a bit of a backlog with these potential bruise or is it a constant hunt to try to find the next thing. Obviously they are. Home brewers themselves. They are comp certify. Beer judges they have won awards so i was kind of curious. How is it regarding the scheduling of keeping the rotation going. Oh we've got the next several months to the day Because we'll have van men who listen to podcasts. while that was a good one With lindsay and have cannabis come in right now coming to once a week for us in. Doing six hundred chase runs sometimes twice sometimes twice a week and doing you know. Twelve hundred can runs in a week. But we need to make sure that we because because we've make life and beer difficult on ourselves you know by doing all these iterative beer new recipes. What that means we gotta be really good about ordering ingredients because you know just making a recipe you can have all the great ideas and all the write thoughts and really cool flavors. Well doesn't mean if you don't have the aggressive vs ingredients on the day of brewing if they're not there sometimes so then..

"That's how they either find out. They certainly go and pay attention to all those competitions but not all of their beers are from home brewers matter of fact they have a whole staff really. Yeah they have. Well they have award-winning brewers. So when you go on there and you look at their the labels you can actually see the names either. In this case. Eric will eventually see a name like brian but they also have kelsey one of their co head brewers and john. How do you say his last name again. That was y'all i know exactly i just i just caught you off. Guard aka magic and then long day all i no. We're gonna put you in a competition. But that's the kind of thing i wanted to know is how many of their own creations are are in their lineup. Because on the tap list for the san francisco and santa clara rooms. There's roughly twenty one beers an each location that you can try. Not all of them are from local. Home brewers in award winners. Obviously they have to continue pumping out the stuff in these. They have their own creation. So that's what i ask. I'll probably right the majority of the recipes. Call it about sixty percent and then the other thirty percent is split. A long our bruce staff So everyone on our team at this point has actually Written a recipe or been involved with on from the three rivers. We have a couple of people Packagers everyone as we gets involved Especially once we you're here for a while you see what works you get to see what you don't think works well again. I want to focus on when we talked to somebody who have amazing beers people. That are well for instance. We have huge fan base in bangladesh. Right and the fiji and germany's fiji. Yeah germans exactly right and up in the in the The arctic circle love davos. Gosh we do and yeah absolutely so with those people in mind. They're like then. How can we get the biz here. And i'm like i'm sorry but you can. That's a lot of shipping ship..

"And looked for bear bottle. And they're quite. I think they're quite easy to find. Yeah it it takes up the whole. I mean the the there well if the if the person puts it on the shelf if it's to the mean this The the design of the can really is It's eye-popping i. Guess is the best way to put that right and i would say the the recipes on the on the aft end Forward what did you call me direction of where the bear in on the backside where the actual lab waxman recipes right. That's what i would look for but anyway there's there's gotta be a way that they approach this and here's what lester in. John had to say we can use use bright as example I mean this competition was a little bit different because it was in the middle of covert ops covert has made everything different and harder but like the idea for this competition jumped out when Robbie so robby is the the president of the does homebrew club. At based out of walnut creek concord area and dozes you know for all intents and purposes probably one of the top one or two homebrew clubs in the state of california You go to their home meetings. And they are serious serious people. They really love beer. They really do a great job of organizing their club like join different events. Doing different internal beer competitions supporting each other and they were happening to be they were in charge of the judging nor cal region for nhc serve national homebrew competition biggest competition in the country and they were judging nor cal region or in charge of coordinating it. But because they're the pandemic it They were able to judge all the prelims and finals in a brewery like most any other large number. Competition does so. We have a budget on the competitions. Here on a saturday were on. Your home brewers come out. They take over. The tapper took over the back warehouse spaces and they just judge the homebrew beers. Let couldn't happen this year. Because of kobe they weren't bringing people together in that number in that size indoors But it did something really really cool and that was they said you know while every other region is an okay. Let's throw hands can't do it. All those countries that worships to them just got dumped like now fraud hunger. Or who did this competition like. We're going to give them their due and we're going to judge every single beer and they judge like six hundred plus beers from home scores under covid circumstances so they basically arranged where different people say like. What's socially distanced to be to home. Brewers who a judge in someone's backyard it would drop off the beers at their house to judge and they basically did that several hundred times over until they had those six hundred beers judged..

"Beautiful breakthrough bubblegum starburst thing Hpc five eight six. Is this really cool new one. That's kind of like. I like to describe it as new car smell or you get your car wash and get like that fake pina colada saying wow why this is so intense and it feels fake. It's just ridiculous and some of those ops can be which is kind of interesting. I think there's people want something that's juicy. And they want the cool new thing except you give them the coolest thing sometimes and they're like well. This is different. I don't want that. It's very confusing to try to figure out what people actually want. But it's fun for us to have the variety of delivery to mess around so much all right. So they're based out of the bay area this this br brewery here right and and we didn't discuss we're not going to discuss their history. You can go on their website. Which i've already mentioned right and learn about where they came from and they do mention. I think one's from los angeles the others from Grew up in. It went to school in berkeley and so so they have ties and connections which made it clearly a logical. I in a way to why they were laying there their flag plant their flag in san francisco so well there's a lot of breweries in the areas everywhere. Yeah so what makes them different exactly like i. Have you heard of a company like this. No i haven't either and you've got to be thinking. They that groundbreaking and such pioneers. At the first ones. I think of this. Maybe maybe we'll maybe we'll find out but certainly an interesting business model for this area. You know we love hungering. Raw brewers at heart. We've all come from humbling. Imagine included and we just kind of we'd love. The kind of the energy divides the creativity that comes from homebrew and it comes from experimentation. That comes from bringing new things you know instead of making. No home brewer. I know ever makes beer over and over and over again you know if it was the sierra nevada pale ale like no hunger or does that everybody is experimenting trying new hops gradients and it's this creative mindset that keeps us going that keeps us engage that chiefs us wanting more and we thought that was such a core component of what we wanted to do at their bottle where we weren't gonna just make flagship beers. We didn't want to do the five flagship. Here's a logger. Here's the pale ears. I a and here's this out like that's us was boring in both from a humber perspective but also taking the leap and going going pro so we knew that we wanted to go to this idea of just constantly iterating constantly. Experimenting constantly rotating the different beatles that we make within a style. So you know for us. I think was it last year the year before we did like one hundred fifty or one hundred eighty unique beers And it's not like we're talking minimum bat sizes six hundred gallons and we're typically doing twelve hundred gallon batches. You know so for us. We're iterating rotating on kinda trump hundred gallon batch sizes which is forty barrel batches and brewers parlance. Well one of the things. I wanted to make sure the audience understands. Is brian again..

We're going to come back and they're always going to be there. He better have one on your tap because you know there's some people that like he's okay but they want i mean for me like i can always take a west coast. I could anytime any day in. My favorite is odell. Ip from fort collins. colorado. Yeah and i want to clone that one so bad and i want to do that one because we we drank so much of that that the representative come and say. Hey you drink the most of this. And i wanna find out who you are. Yeah look at that. We've got to know the rep really personal and co workers. paul knows. I used to have a hookah lounge right. Yeah would sell most models of the odell. Ip than anyone in town and it was only because me and my partner were drinking all right so there you go did that. Go well with with the hookah or how did that go. Oh it's it's anything like spicy. Food was great but he told me he's like he wanted to personally and find out who was drinking the most bottles of their stuff like us you know. He opened corporate card in. Like he get a table and just spend money and and then bryan bryan just like you know merch there you i have the led sign and stuff i know the led but you know the the neon brian brandon keep on drinking. Whatever the hell you drink and you keep on drinking. Pbr brendan and see if the pbr comes up. Well we had a funny story maybe last or a few episodes ago where somebody drank was it. Oh i forgot but they came out and he. The person decorated their entire condo or parts but light and in canes like literally like wallpaper and they said we're going to give you a lifetime supply of this beer and they outfitted in the words if they said. Hey my my fridge is running low. They would ship them an entire cases in cases cases. Two point where they were using it for crown molding. I'd system on the ceiling. So yeah that's the kind of stuff you want to be sponsored by like. I'm kind of running low on so and so and hell.

"And now i'm double batching now. Most days was double batching While i'm i'm bruins two batches of beer and to twelve gallon batches a beer because i have to fourteen gallon fermenters and i wanna fill 'em botha at the same time and it takes all day. It's a ten hour day trying to juggle two women at least spend six to six to twelve days with them when a for ferments. So i've been over brian's house and he has his garage outfitted in. I think this is a true stamp or snapshot of a of a home brewer. You know your see grain bins. You see a stainless steel hanging from multiple different hooks and you obviously see after the side. He has conical mentors. Which are you know the stainless steel things have curved bottom in just ridiculous amount of of stuff that connects to it. Just beautiful stuff. I of the. I one of the things that really attracts. Brewers is the beauty of stainless steel. It looks so pretty but again the efficiency of what he's doing now. It's quite an epic. To be able. To control certain things the mash temperature the sparse temperature the fermentation temperature. And he is. He is a diy. God i mean he likes to tinker and i think you just mentioned Well i don't wanna say he will mention it in the next upcoming interview with bare bottle about diy and can you. Can you explain a little about how you well i think. A lot of home. Brewers they they. I look at solutions with what they got. You know if you can make something out of an avocado snorkel and a paper clip. Then go for macgyver. You know. But when i'm looking at a two hundred dollar keg washer online and i can put it together at the local hardware store for you know sixty bucks in a bucket then. I'm going to go for that first until it fails me or until It's not working anymore. And then you change it up. But i think every home brewer has but half diy half. I want the good stuff but worse. The nice i mean. Obviously you're going to spend money on this spot but maybe over here you want to save some money so you make it make it work and there's so many burris in some i've been to that. Have dairy tanks something. They got from a dairy farm. That has been re purposed to be a mash tun or from tation vessel. And just the name of the game a brandon that was horny toad brewery in row rowena or ruina texas. That's right. They had a dairy equipment and they sprayed the installation on top of that stuff. So they can they can control fermentation in one hundred and ten degree plus west texas temperature. So give us an example brine from from you arriving in california to sort of figuring out where you wanted to be on your brew house efficiency with your equipment to maybe going. You know what. I'm getting pretty good at this and finally going well validated. So i need to. I want to put my stuff into a competition right right so it came to a point where you know i knew. Other brewers in the area really local and it might circle was pretty small. So i wanted to reach out..

"And canning's and beer lindsay talks about why this service is so important during covert. Obviously we kind of know why it's important but she goes on to To elaborate on that right now i guess for the last year now in particular breweries that aren't packaging. Had no way of selling their beer because kegs aren't going to bars and restaurants like they were and you know when top rooms are closed cans out the doors. The only way that anybody can make any money. So we've been working like crazy since kobe to make sure that all of our customers and a lot of burris weren't previously our customers. Don't go out of business during all of this. Of course i had asked about future right goals that is goals so lindsay talks about another company that they're starting and what they're going to achieve in that direction. One thing that you know has been a challenge over as many years if they can man. Is that customers. That don't have the right equipment or facility of their own for what they wanna to do. And he can For instance wineries. That wants to do a carbonated wine. But don't have pressure rated tanks or a cocktail company that doesn't have a licensed facility of their own Over the past many years those customers we've had two. We've had to help them. Find third party hosts facilities that can host their product and then we show up and do the canning there but then they're dealing with another middleman that they have to pay and we're dealing with somebody else's scheduling and whether that host facility knows how to carbonate properly it's And it's always just kind of adding extra layer of complexity so finally in january of last year By business partner. Jen and i am a new business partner. Who's been a longtime cocktail. Customer of the camden Started a company called tank space. And it's also in sacramento. It's kinda like outside of the thomas area And it's going to be a host facility that can bring in all of these products that need home and wolf pack. The van will packaging here in house. So i've been working The last couple of weeks on putting in the glycol an insulating. It only have oliver tanks in and we're going to start producing within the next couple of weeks it's primarily just a place For that other people can do our d and small batch projects. It's gonna focus on wine pocket. Tales and seltzer is primarily Places that currently have a hard time finding a home for small and medium scale production or again.

"Asked her. Why why cans. What's the big deal. Cans are more environmentally friendly package and they can go a lot more places camping. Everything like that There and they have much higher recycling rates than glass. My business partner had just been travelling alaska and lamented that there is an even curbside glass recycling in alaska and all the local breweries up there. Bottles are just being you know dumping piles and landfills and so kind of taking those two different ideas and inspiration from the nearby wine regions and their mobile bottling. We thought it could be a good idea to try and adopt canning line to a small mobile environment and see if we could convince some of our local favorite breweries to start gaining i to i. Can we put her in a special category because she just said she is. They are well. No i know but the fact that well we first of all we have people who have certain sayings like You know and that's and that's that are literally and things like she just said lamented my mom. She's you just use the word lamented. I love it all right. So she's in like our top tier of like interview people because he is a cool word. Perfect but so landfills in alaska. That's crazy. I've seen those pictures to they. Show him and i know a lot of a lot of commercials. You are doing that these days. Or they're showing you know the impact having on the on the environment and what what items are getting tossed and they don't do anything for years decades whatever so then the story obviously it goes to colorado to wild goose. Look them up while goose filling. Yeah yep these stuff They didn't have any background in this but they learned kind of on the fly in. She talks about that as well. Yeah we definitely learned a lot on the job so to speak When we are waiting for canines be built. We were we were working with a company in colorado to modify canning line that they were already making and make it into a mobile option so we had them lower the whole thing to drop the center of gravity and also make a you know operable by two females And then put it on bigger wheels. Everything like that while. We're waiting for That company to build accounting lines. We went and volunteered at the breweries in colorado. That were already running versions of that. Same canning line so we kind of spent a good couple weeks in some crash course and had to run the canning lines We also spent that time reversing trailers around the parking lot so that we could learn how to do that before it had expensive equipment inside of it and then when our line was ready we drove it back to the bay and started convincing. Murray's to try it out so their first client when they get back into california is to can is. that is that we're getting to your your fruit loops. I'll never tell start dammit. Sorry go ahead. You figured it out. Yeah so their first client devils canyon. I get devils canyon. Nate allowed us to spill a lot of their beer. And you know work out all the bugs and learn what you know and carbonation levels beer had to be at And you know basically let us work out. All of our growing pains on their product which was very very instrumental solicit talks about the process of canning from start to finish. We have a big warehouse in sacramento where we park all of our we use pickup trucks and trailers. Actually it offers a little more space than a van so we have a big warehouse in sacramento where everything parks at night an in the morning we make sure we have all of our equipment loaded. We load any materials that the customer doesn't already have on site and then we drive to the burri and then we have a big ramp door on the trailer and everything on wheels and rolls out and we sat up in the brewery at the tank We you know. Try and get as close to the packaging tank as possible so that the beer is super cold and fresh on its way to the canning line and then so we're basically installing a packaging line at burry every single day We set it up. We set up our era dryer up to their air compressor we hook our product. Hoses up judah tanks. We do a full cleaning process in the morning when we get there. Then we can their beer anywhere from one hundred cases is our local sacramento. Minimum up to you know six seven hundred cases in a day and then we're all done we clean everything up again. Pack it all up and head back to the base for the next day lindsay talks about the most exciting part of the job I just like working at different places. Every day i think is the most exciting part about this job. You're not going to the same breer the same office every single day with the same people You know it's always different people. It's different situations. There's always different problems that you've got to trouble shoot and overcome. We're always working with well before cova times. We were always working with different people within our company. We've tried to obviously minimize that these days so that we don't have as much mixing happening amongst our company But in general. I think you know it's always exciting. Just doing different kind of beers. Different places and We've been doing a lot more natural beers these days which is always fun. And then i think you know as we're kind of looking towards the future. There's a lot of exciting. New products are horizon We're getting into a lot more cocktails and wines and seltzer and things like that. The can van gets weird requests. Things that you wouldn't think of that That they shouldn't haning. But i think that Dahmer yeah lindsay gets into kind of some of those weird requests and how how those people kind of Are the ones that the snakes that jump out and you open no. Not those are the yeah. That's it says nuts on right now like that. But here's some examples of that. We added a request from somebody in santa cruz. That wanted us to package dog food for him. It was like a bone broth for dogs and i was like we put food food through this packaging. Line we're not gonna put dog food through our packaging line. We've had some people. Ask package hold tomatoes. I don't know how they expected. Tomatoes to get back out of the cam Popcorn we've had all kinds of crazy requests for a lot of things that would not work when it comes to beverages. There's not you know alcoholic beverages as you say. There's not a lot that we can't do. We offer something like i dunno twelve different sizes of cans. We can do carbonated. We can do non-carbonated all kinds of things well. These aluminum angels talked about before. They're helping the craft beer. Industry people can get the product out the door just amazing and lindsay talks about the crew that she has behind her for this so we have about twenty employees. It's a great makes folks. Most people live in the You know greater sacremento region got a really great group of people right now and i've been really proud of them through cova times and everything You know staying safe and You know keeping their friends and co workers safe and making sure that they're going out there and.

"Watch the december episode. You could tell him if he wants Oh that's right yeah All of those combined really did speak to a winter ale to me. Yeah i put down at a smell spot on if you read the label even further. Which i didn't want to do in the beer dome ring. Now read mine well okay so underneath where electric reindeer it says brown ale with ginger and molasses. So that's the only description gets right. But i mean that's what i got. I mean if you have ginger. Which i'm not going to go out and buy ginger beer just because ginger in it i'm not going to go and get ginger jail because i like ginger ale but i know the properties of ginger and i how how amazing it is definitely you know. Take it whenever. I'm flying or i need to kind of recover from injury or from a sickness. I think ginger has those kind of amazing properties. Yeah plus if you mix the word ginger. Getting don't wanna do that. I felt as though that i would have more than one of these. Bruce sitting session all right so onto the bile frost. Minute wait a minute. What's that i let me. Just throw this out there about the about the electric reindeer. I gave it a two in the mouth field. Because i felt it dropped off multipurpose that i wanted from brown ale and it felt watery. I kind of feel the same way it did. It was like a roller coaster. When you went up to the top rate with flavors it looks amazing. Smells amazing and then you put in your mouth and you go. It was gone over. No lingering flavors. Yeah the ginger was fine in there. But i wanted more brown ale balance. Maltese multi in yep. I would agree. It's not there and you should get an extra point. Just because that's a cool name. It is so this works me bio frost by frost frost. The same thing is bios. This was difficult because to put a pale up against a brown Two different worlds really answering But there wasn't much aroma. On this. I put i put down nothing. Yeah i didn't get anything off of that It was a bit boozy also a mouth feel. Yeah true. I give it a said not smooth it. Something just didn't click right. I wanted i wanted expected. It and it wasn't there I also said that it was probably better. Ice cold. new is probably true. The description on the by frost is that it say lively winter brew a bold pale ale with citrus and earthy hop character balanced by a smooth malt backbone. Who and that's that's a lot. That's a lot to clean it. Is i got a little bit as leader. Yeah well that's what turned me off in a way in the citrus reserve. But it was it. Wasn't there there. And then really the multi. Now it seemed like they were fighting each other and never one never actually succeeded of the other to really make this a bold bold. Yeah i think i think that. They have a stalemate on their hands. Yeah the russians in the vikings. Just finish watching vikings by the way. That's why through that out there. I know i know folks. i'm a little bit behind. Jeez binge watchers right. So let me throw some numbers at you and then we'll come back to granted. I i didn't do my. I didn't add to finish. Oh you didn't know. Oh okay. Because i think that's just a extra layer of not worthiness but okay all right. So i'm going to give you my number and then We'll get back to you with the scores in one second and here come the final scores in a sealed envelope before we reveal the winter which beard you think is which initially coming into this. I thought my beer was going to rock. But i felt i felt it kind of fell flat but then when i tasted yours. I'm thinking wait a minute. His his kind of doesn't have everything than i expected it. would either. I'd love beers from elision. Yes and i thought by frost with one of their more solid solid beers. But i felt was very close. So i don't know. I think and maybe my just because of maybe taste and aroma. I dunno i. Slight and i would say that. You're probably you probably hit it right on. And i felt that way too. I thought i had a really strong contender coming into this thing with a winter ale but with with what you had brought to the table with your brown a kind of left me a little too fused so that's called left punch to the to the uppercut you'd never knew i knew how to love. Putsch do all right. So you're number four. The for by frost are twelve twelve. I have a twelve as well. Okay so this it. There's twenty four. that's easy case. A twenty four versus your electric grainger score was given a thirteen. I've a fifteen. So that's so that's twenty eight more than twenty four so by three points.

Is caving in the temperate rainforests of southeast alaska in some of the most amazing cars bound and north barrington beacon of going deep this refund.

What's in there and it looks like we are approaching last call. Let's head back into the ring for biro where two beers enter but only one leaves but both get drunk so to kind of paint a picture here. I brought my best winter ale forward which was introduced to me by my sister. She brought the beer down from washington. And i think we both agreed that january is a good time to introduce winter beers so we already had one in mind a kind of down that primrose path to where we are now however ferris bueller. Yeah so i brought to the table a pale and you showed up with brown ale. Yeah so do. I mean right off the bat even if we even if we completely explained which was which we have to be blindfolded in order you not know which one was which and our our audience members are kind of dwindling here. They're all they're all in their own bubbles. Right yeah well. So we've i guess we've we've hydrated and we've we've written down our ratings one to five yet is really cool by the way.

"So i also got a chance to talk to david love. Who was the past president of the glacier grotto. he's now the treasurer in he had tons of historical information about the about the the caving club Last lots lots of talk about well exactly fifty years ago. There were seven. Nss national celia logic sidey members in alaska dead started publishing a publication called the alaskan caver. This represented trips that. These people made under the auspices of alaska areas conservation task force. Those people included chuck. Ps warren smith. Thomas and nancy. How and then james hedges william halliday jay rock well david klinger people who have caved in the north west and the western part of the us Some of those names will be familiar in nineteen seventy eight after More and more people started moving to the state and it was realized that We had a fairly karst and cave. Networking resource. Here in the state of alaska. They organize themselves as the glacier grotto. Karst which stands for Well david explains a little bit a little bit more about what cars is. So caving in alaska is quite very. They can be limestone caves. They can be ice caves under. Glaciers we have few caves also in lava tubes throughout the different parts of the state Caving gonna be quite buried of laid. Most of the effort in cave exploration has been occurring in southeast alaska In karst and what karst is societal. Bedrock usually calcium carbonates In which the the caves are formed through disillusioned by acidic waters moving through a basic rock and eroding into The cavities underground. Become these a fantastic caves. I have been caving once or twice up in the mother lode area. In the murphys california area there is The california caves mercer caverns and moaning mourning caverns. Caverns here's some misconceptions of caving. David brings up you know. The misconceptions about caving is that it's it's dangerous and It can be can be dangerous if you're unpreparedness if you're unskilled if you don't go with groups like the glacier grotto that know what they're doing know how to do it safely And with proper preparation gear. You offset the risk. It's like recently in norway. What is a There's there's no bad weather. There's bad clothing. And that's that's stuff that's important as well because there is a danger factor. It's not just romance and watching a movie. Well actually watching a movie. You wouldn't want to go into a cave at all. No they're very good backlots for horror flicks but yeah. There's there's so. Many risks risks involved yet the rewards are going to be something special almost like a very small percentage of people actually see this stuff and it's interesting because he brings up some of the things that you would normally see in caves. We have found. Cave invertebrates Various kinds there are ample pods. That helped run the insect biologist. Collect that are unique to the cave systems in on prince. Wales can't carlson. There are blin area. There are different invertebrates probably that we haven't even found yeah I was in a cable early. On when i started caving in the early nineties called blue marble cave they had in you drop down into the cave and you hit a stream passage kind of tea into a stream passage. There's a stream running along the bottom of the cave passage and then it goes out eventually. Goes you know a subterranean and you can't follow it anymore. But in that isolated section there were Cat supply hatching when we were there. Mapping and you find you know you find sub surface organisms rainbow trout cutthroat trout in the streams and some of the streams Connect back to the surface and runs of salmon. Run through there and after speaking to anna you know just looking up at mammoth cave in Where was yeah. I mean it was talking about cave. Shrimp and Gypsum minerals or flowers and glistening crystalline. 'cause there's got to be a version of what you see when you scuba dive there's got to be iridescent things and stuff that glows and stuff that Just i don't know it's got to be some crazy stuff that That lives down there. So david talks about the purpose or what glacier grotto stands for their their mission statement wanted a the purposes of the glacier grotto promote interest Vance study and understanding and the science of speleologist to protect and preserve the caves and their natural contents and promote fellowship -mongst cavers and the resources found in in eggs in southeast and caves actually everywhere in the world vary from biological to hydrological to geological Archaeology ancient human remains in autoclaves including those here south east Ours paling to logical remains dating back to before forty thousand years ago. You can see changes in the environment Through time as the climate has changed. So they're they're really fascinating from a variety of different standpoints. Here are some final thoughts from david about going out. And checking out the the the cave. Networks out there and by the way you can check out your local grotto by going.
